Time to say good-bye with a song...

Dear students,
Here's the link to the you tube web site of the song that gave me the inspiration to name this blog. Paradoxically it's a black and white video because this song was recorded back in the sixties... when your parents were just kids or teenagers!!!
The singer has a really beautiful voice. I hope you enjoy it.

...And here you are the lyrics to the song:

I can't seem to get my sleep now any old night,
Mr Sandman passes by my door;
Life has changed since you've been there to say it's alright,
You taught me to understand what I thought couldn't be,
Don't mind missing sleep if I can see:
Colours of my life,
You've got love to fill my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours blend with love to show I'm happy with you,
I can never be the same again;
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,
I'll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,
Colours I can feel by touching you:
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
