Lyrics
When Shall I Wear Purple
1.
Life is full of colour, a thousand different shades
But As you’re groing older, the colours start to fade
The greys of institutions, the choice of black and white
Without that splash of colour, our days roll into night
Chorus: 

When shall I wear purple, make people stop and stare
Go skipping down the byways, wearing flowers in my hair
When shall I wear purple, release the child in me
Maybe I’ll start tomorrow, we’ll have to wait and see
2.
Where are the reds of summer, where are those autumn golds
I’ve felt the blues of winter and winter leaves me cold
I need that touch of springtime, to brighten up my days
I need that splash of colour, to guide me on my way
Chorus: 

When shall I wear purple, make people stop and stare
Go skipping down the byways, wearing flowers in my hair
When shall I wear purple, release the child in me
Maybe I’ll start tomorrow, we’ll have to wait and see
Bridge:
But there’s a spark inside of me and I want to set it free
When it bursts into colour, ah the rainbow I will be
Chorus: 

When shall I wear purple, make people stop and stare
Go skipping down the byways, wearing flowers in my hair
When shall I wear purple, release the child in me
Maybe I’ll start tomorrow, we’ll have to wait and see
