Chris Rea Red lyrics

Put your hand in the paintbox and choose
Which one says the most about you
I would have to pick the deepest shade, the saddest shade of blue
But red is color I'd choose
Oh, red is color I'd choose

I set my soul long ago and far away
Oh, it's written down so deep, it can never fade away
Though so many years have come and gone
Through my life one thing has stayed
An eternal light that shines clean through the gray, yeah

Red is color I'd choose
Deepest red in a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
'Cos red is color I'd choose


If I waste my time away waiting just for you
I don't care what others say 'cos baby I just love, love what you do

Red is color I'd choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
No, it don't, it don't matter now if I should win
If I should win or lose
'Cos red is color I'd choose, yeah

Well, red is color I'd choose
Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue
It don't matter now if I should win or lose
'Cos red is color I'd choose

Red is color I'd choose
