I submitted this one last year but we added a writer and a great musician to this, Brandon James (http://www.brandonjamesmusic.com/)
WHAT COLORS MY DAYS
Copyright 2012 Written by Casey/James/Schwelling
Performed By Brandon James
Our little Hailey in her pink pajamas
Waking us up at a quarter to five
Black coffee you make at dawn
Even when you’re dead tired
My rusty silver Chevy truck
With that left tail light that never works
But every Sunday it takes us down the road
To our little white church
You don't see red when I don't bring home a ton of green
I try not to get the blues ‘cause of a few faded dreams
I see a rainbow when I look into your face
That’s what colors my days
That’s what colors my days
And I’m proud to wear this orange hard hat
But it ain’t the work that makes time fly
It’s the thought of getting home to you
Your ruby lips & big brown eyes
I used to see in shades of grey
Like an old western on TV
Now I see a yellow school bus coming home
It’s all a dream to me
You don’t care if we paint the kitchen ivory or cream
Saying ‘I Love You’ is more important than all those silly things
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
When Life gets real hard
And my days are feeling dark
All I need is a little light
You’re there with your colorful smile
Interlude Solo
You don't see red when I don't bring home a ton of green
I try not to get the blues ‘cause of a few faded dreams
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
That’s what colors my days
That’s what colors my days
