the song
she colors my day
the art of grace’s she colors my day project began when annette, a mother dying of breast cancer, created a keepsake for the four daughters she was preparing to leave behind and gave this gift to her close friend, cristina carlino. anne’s sweet gift of music became the inspiration for the “she colors my day" song co-written by cristina carlino for her daughter that would later be recorded by multi-grammy award winner, amy grant.
A portion of net proceeds goes directly to She Colors My Day to benefit Entertainment Industry Foundation/Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
the lyrics
here and now i'm going to stay
in her world i'm going to play
rolling in her cartwheels,
feeling just like she feels
lost inside her curls and her sun rays
she colors my day
in red, pink, blue and shades of grey
whenever we play, she colors my day
in the night she's a flashlight
in her skin i end and begin
to a smile that's always dreaming
to a song that's always scheming
to hands that hold my own
like warm sun rays
she colors my day
in red, pink, blue and shades of grey
whenever we play, she colors my day
in a green and violet skirt
she magically plays
she colors my day
i need her light - she's warm, she's cold she feels just right
she's my best friend - she takes,
she gives, it just never ends
i feel so real - in like, in love
i'm head over heels
she's my best girl - she runs, she jumps she spins and she
twirls
