All the Colors

I opened the letter
She sent me
Didn't know it'd be the last
My only regret is
I never knew
How quickly time would pass
No long goodbyes
No fairytales
No ribbons in the sky
Just so much
I wish I'd said

I can still see her smile
Shining through the pain
She taught me how to love
Can't even explain
The man that I am
The way I live my life
How I serve my God
How I treat me wife
It's all that I've got
It's all that I need
And all that I want

All that is left
Is the broken swing
On the porch where we grew up
All of the colors
Have faded now
The walls are cracked and grey
The mango tree
Is bigger
Than it ever used to be
And time just seems
To slip away

I can still hear her voice
Calling my name
From the top of her porch
Come in from that rain
I can still feel her arms
Most memories are gone
Just a few remain
But I'm still holding on
It's all that I've got
It's all that I need
It's all that I want
It's all that I've got
It's all that I need
It's all that I want

Her voice, Her smile
The porch, The swing
The faded walls, The mango tree
Her voice, Her smile
The porch, The swing
The faded walls, mango tree
The things we wish we'd said
The time we wish we'd spent
The Colors of our lives
The things we wish we'd said
The time we wish we'd spent
The Colors of our lives
