about

This probably sounds more complicated than it actually is. The truth is it came to me one day virtually complete and I basically wrote down the outline in one long session. All I had to do was mix up the right colors. For a long time it was just a verse-chorus, verse-chorus song with no break but when we were recording it I realized it needed something more so I wrote a bridge to set up a flute solo which my daughter, Vanessa, played beautifully. I think that added a lot to the song. It's really catchy, and very easy to sing along to. The colors are a good hook. I think people will have fun trying to get all the colors right. This could be a hit for someone.

lyrics

Paint Me With A Thousand Colors
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

Today I met an old friend,
And though I didn’t have a lot to say,
We spent some time together,
For old time’s sake,

She talked a lot about her family,
And then she asked me if I still saw you,
And when I told her that we'd separated,
I felt my heart break in two...

-chorus-
Paint me gray because I miss you,
Paint me blue because I’m sad,
All the colors in your brush,
Can’t bring back what we had,
Paint me yellow ‘cause you’ve found another,
Green because you won’t be back,
Paint me with a thousand colors,
Maybe when I see myself I’ll laugh...

It hasn’t been that easy,
Trying to get you off my mind,
I know I’m going to love you,
A long long time,

Just when I think I’m getting past the pain,
I see you on the town with someone new,
And if I only had the nerve to face you,
Here’s what I would ask you to do...

-repeat chorus-

-bridge-
There's nothing funny 'bout the way I feel,
My life is not the same without you here,
I really thought I'd found true love with you,
I can't believe you broke my heart in two...

-flute solo-

-repeat chorus-
