Several weeks ago, I got an e-mail from Diego B. It seems he'd searched my name, and ran across my poetry site. He said that one of my poems had moved him, that he'd put it to music, and would I like to hear it? Who wouldn't? So he e-mailed me an MP3 of music he'd done on a three stanza poem. I loved it! I replied, "how about if I come up with a chorus and bridge?" Diego says "We'll turn it into a real song". Which I think we did, and I really want to thank Diego for coming up with the music that resonates so beautifully with the lyrics.
Here's the YouTube lyric video:

Ott Lukk: Lyrics
Love Comes In Many Colors
I once knew a lady, who loved her butterflies
and the beauty of their colors, were reflected in her eyes
yet she would try to hide her gaze, for you weren’t s’posed to see
her soul as it changed colors, for the colors, they might bleed . . .
When she was so much younger, even more than she is now
she’d wake up in the evening, and see a lady’s gown
come floating through the darkness, like a butterfly above
and spread soft wings around her, to make her feel her love
love comes in many colors, and in many hues
sometimes one remembers, when love was close to you
love comes in many colors, puts rainbows in your eyes
knows when it’s time to sleep, says -- go on, close your eyes (close your eyes)
Yes, she has saved that moment, when the darkness made her cry
and there was just one person, who’d put stardust in her eyes
who can touch such beauty, who dares to search her eyes
if her guardian angel, is a butterfly?
love comes in many colors, love comes in many hues
sometimes one remembers, when love was close to you
love comes in many colors, puts rainbows in your eyes
knows when it’s time to sleep, says -- go on, close your eyes (close your eyes)
can you hear the sounds, of gossamer wings?
vibrations in the heavens
when love -- has -- to sing?
(musical interlude)
love comes in many colors, love comes in many hues
sometimes one remembers, when love was close to you
love comes in many colors, puts rainbows in your eyes
knows when it’s time to sleep, says -- go on, close your eyes (close your eyes)
for sure, this lady dreams
of her butterfly
brings to her sweet sleep
with a lullaby
go on, go on -- close your eyes
