Color of Love

Brown may be the color of chocolate
Brown is one of nature's richest Earth tones
Brown is the color of father's wallet
Brown is a shade of tasty ice cream cones

The gravel and dirt on my shoes are brown
When I fell, the mud on my knees was brown
I looked and found your shoes were also brown
You touched me and I found beautiful brown

Brown is the open windows to your soul
Brown is the color that makes me go weak 
Brown gave new meaning to becoming whole
Brown is an ever-lasting winning streak

Brown fills my heart that it bursts at the seams
Brown is now my future to all my dreams
