  • The show is over close the story book
    There will be no encore
    And all the random hands that I have shook
    Well they're reaching for the door
    I watch their backs as they leave single file
    But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

    I know I can be colorful
    I know I can be gray
    But I know this loser?s living fortunate
    'Cause I know you will love me either way

    Most were being good for goodness sake
    But you wouldn't pantomime
    You are more beautiful when you awake
    Than most are in a lifetime
    Through the haze that is my memory well
    You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

    I know I can be colorful
    I know I can be gray
    But I know this loser?s living fortunate
    Cause I know you will love me either way

    Look ahead as far as you can see
    We?ll live in drama but we?ll die in a comedy
    I know I can be colorful... Writer/s: BRIAN VANDER ARK, DONNY BROWN
