Chris Rea Red song 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 colour I'd choose

Red is colour 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 grey

Red is colour I'd choose

Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue

It don't matter now if I should win

If I should win or lose

'Cos red is colour 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 colour I'd choose

Deepest red on a sky of deepest blue

It don't matter now if I should win

If I should win or lose

'Cos red is colour I'd choose
