Color Of The Love

Her eyes were Carolina blue
Her hair, golden in the sun
But it was the way she'd look at me
That I knew the color of love

His face would turn a raging blush
That's when he'd let go a drunken punch
It was the way she'd stand between us
That I knew the color of love

Don't hate the man
For what the drinking does

She stayed as long as she could
There was just too much to be undone
It was the way she had the courage to run
That I knew the color of love

She met a man she could trust
A black and white predicament
It was the way they believed no matter what
That I knew the color of love

Don't hate the man
There's already hate enough

Some things are hard to cover up
When Southern justice ain't so just
How could she choose between two sons
Oh the color of love

Don't hate the man
For what he's become

So many words unspoken
And I can't forget the way it was
Forgiveness that's what I'm hoping
And to know the color of love

To know the color of love
To know the color of love
