The Colors of My Life
Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart, Barnum, the musical
"The colors of my life,
are bountiful and bold,
The purple glow of indigo,
The gleam of green and gold.
The splendor of a sunrise,
The dazzle of a flame,
The glory of a rainbow,
I put 'em all to shame."
"No quiet browns or grays,
I'll take my days instead,
And fill them 'till they overflow,
With rose and cherry red."
"And should this sunlit world,
Grow dark one day,
The colors of my life
Will leave a shining light
To show the way."
"Life is a daring adventure or it is nothing."
Helen Keller
