Flying Colors lyrics

Flyin` Colors (Keith Whitley)

When you walked out of my life
I didn`t think that I`d survive
Hope was growing dimmer day by day

But much to my surprise
Lord I made it out alive
An` my world is looking anything but grey

I came through with flyin` colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An` I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care

I came through with flyin` colors
My eyes are red from cryin` the whole night through
I should win the Purple Heart
`Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin` colors
After losin` you

Yes I`ve got a yell`er streak
`Cause I know your places weak
An` I still get pale whenever you`re in sight

I may shade out of my mind
Oh but I`m not color blind
`Cause I`ve learned that love ain`t only black and white

I came through with flyin` colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An` I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care

I came through with flyin` colors
My eyes are red from cryin` the whole night through
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
`Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin` colors
After losin` you

Oh I should win the Purple Heart
`Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin` colors
After losin` you
