You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged til I realise
It's hard to take courage
In a world, full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you makes you feel so small
But I'll see your true colours, shining through
I see your true colours, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colours, true colours
Are beautiful, ooh like a rainbow
Show me a smile
Don't be unhappy can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up, cos you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours, shining through
I see your true colours, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colours, true colours
Are beautiful, ooh like a rainbow
Such sad eyes
Take courage now, realise
if this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up, cos you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colours, shining through
I see your true colours, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colours, true colours,true colours are shining through
I see your true colours, and that`s why I love you
so don`t be afraid, sharing your shoulder,
true colours, true colours, true colours
are beautiful, beautiful like the rainbow, (yeah, yeah)2x
Show me your colours, show your rainbow (4x)(music fades away)...
