Jim Johnston Color by Numbers Lyrics:
Words and Music: Jim Johnston

Not so long ago, we all were happy, and what we
didn't know, it didn't hurt me. I've got you by my
side, man I'm lucky, I know somehow we'll get by,
But something has changed. Cause now they come and
lecture me, because it's not so simple, They say I
have to face reality. But I think its strange.
They color by numbers, Love is for children, this
world is cold as ice, They say lock up your heart,
but I know the reason.;They've lost that paradise,
that's inside you. Tell me what's so wrong, and
why you're so unhappy? You say "Unless I play
along, it's gonna hurt me." But it's just so
much ado - about nothing, Cause they don't think
it through -and I am insane? When they come and

criticize, I just say "Thank you", They
don't realize that love doesn't change. If you
color by numbers, love is for children, the world
turns cold as ice. If you lock up your heart,
there must be a reason, You forget that paradise,
that's inside you - way on down there! Cause
they'll take every day away from you, And then say
that there's nothing they can do. You know you
must defend it! You know you can't pretend it
would never happen to you. So to those in misery,
I must say something, You know it wasn't supposed
to be this crazy. You can come back home again,
And just get happy. cause true love never ends we
just throw it away! If you color by numbers, Love
is for children, this world is cold as ice. Keep
telling your heart there's no better reason, than
to live for paradise, If you color by numbers and
laugh at the children, you just get old and wise.
So open your heart, it just stands to reason, That
we all want heaven, we all need heaven, we all
want paradise. Now I'm happy.
