Fly Your Colors
Our fighting heroes on parade
Fly flags which they call their colors
Colors for which their comrades fell
Distinguishing them from others
So when an old man saw a girl
Crying with her heart asunder
She confided, her beau went astray
"What can I do?", she would wonder
The old man said, "I know it hurts"
But to him, it's all black and white
You are more kind and passionate
Your colors can light up the night
Never give up your colors child
Never veer, but go your own way
You will meet "the one" who loves you
You'll feel when it happens one day
She asked, "So what are your colors?"
"How have you become wise this way?"
He said, "Honey, I just got old"
My colors are silver and grey
