The Night Is A Friendly Color
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Blue is the color of the sky in summer
The color of my baby's eyes
Pink is the color of the evening clouds
And fresh baked cherry pies
Green is the color of the forest
Where the animals play
But what is the color when the sun goes down
At the end of a busy day?
The night is a friendly color
Welcomes us all to sleep
The night is a friendly color
Its wide and warm and deep
So close your eyes
And don't be afraid of the size
Of the dark and twinkling sky
Because the night is a friendly color
And we'll all be sleeping by and by
Gold is the color of the waving wheat
And the color of the morning sun
Silver is the color of the old man's hair
And the stars when the day is done
Bronze is the color of the canons
On an old sunken ship
But what is the color when the moon comes up
And the big dipper starts to dip?
The night is a friendly color
Welcomes us all to sleep
The night is a friendly color
It's wide and warm and deep
So close your eyes
And don't be afraid of the size
Of the dark and twinkling sky
Because the night is a friendly color
And we'll all be sleeping by and by
Purple are the mountains in the desert sky
The crimson is the setting sun
But what is the color when the moon comes up
And the day is finally done?
The night is a friendly color
Welcomes us all to sleep
The night is a friendly color
It's wide and warm and deep
So close your eyes
And don't be afraid of the size
Of the dark and twinkling sky
Because the night is a friendly color
We'll all be sleeping by and by
The night is a friendly color
