Colors (Live from Capitol Studio A) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eric Burton]
I woke up to the morning sky first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown 'til I'm clean
Then I walked where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town in style

[Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors (Yeah)

[Post-Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
It's a good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, thеy see 'em like no other
All my favoritе colors

[Verse 2: Eric Burton]
I'm on the other side
Little bitty blues birds fly, see 'em fly
In gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright, somebody make me feel alright
Now we gon', ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
They sound like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
And the least I can say, I anticipate
A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning
[Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
With all my favorite colors, yeah
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
It's a good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

[Bridge: Eric Burton]
Closer, baby
Can't you feel me
Getting closer, baby?
Now I'm on the other side

[Verse 3]
I'm on the other side
Little bitty blues birds fly
In gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright, help me feel alright today
Now we gon', ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
They sound like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
And the least I can say, I anticipate
A homecome parade as we renegade in the morning
Sweet morning, good morning
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Burton]
Yeah, when you're on the other side, sweetie
All my favorite colors, baby

[Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
All my favorite colors
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers, they see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors, alright

[Post-Chorus: Eric Burton with The Soul Supporters]
It's a good day to be, a good day for me
A good day to see my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors
