[Violin opening]
[Verse 1]
Out of the dark…
A pink light flickers, soft and small
My missing link…
A heartbeat I held
Another flicker—gone
Warm, then fading
A whisper of what could have been
Then came purple-
Then gold
Colors that warmed
The life gone cold
[Pre-Chorus]
They rise in me
Even when shadows pull them down
I carry them, I carry them still
[Chorus]
Pink, purple, gold… they glow
Even when the lights go low
I know that some day-
they will leave
But every color stays with me
Every color stays with me
[Verse 2]
Pink, calling my name
Purple, a wild flame
Gold, a warming sun
Each one a story, each one begun
Flickered lights I never held
Soft reminders, soft and quelled
Yet in my chest, in my soul, in my mind
Their colors linger… gentle, kind
[Pre-Chorus]
They rise in me
Even when shadows pull them down
I carry them, I carry them still
[Chorus]
Pink, purple, gold… they glow
Even when the lights go low
Some will stay, some will go
But every color stays with me
Every color stays with me
[Bridge / Breakdown: soft, repeated echo)]
Flicker (flicker)... fade…
Flicker (flicker)… fade…
Still I hold them…
Still I hold them…
[Chorus / Outro]
Pink, purple, gold… they glow
They glow
My sunset, brightening the sky
I hold them tight with a grateful sigh
Every color stays with me
Every color stays with me
