Rose-Colored Glasses

When I wear my rose-colored glasses
  I see lovely pink grasses
  and the sky is pale pink
  not grey.

I get lost in romantic dreams
  of secret schemes
  and I spread my pink wings and sail away.

My heart beats faster
  and my head spins
  in a rosy world 
  where happiness never ends.

Smiles and sweet kisses fill my head
  and love is warm and red.
We live apart
  from this cruel world without heart
  where kindness and true love are free.

I dance for you
  and you laugh for me
  as a rosy sun shines down
  and my favorite word is "we".
