Keith Whitley - Flying Colors lyrics

When you walked out of my life I didn't think that I'd survive Hope was growing dimmer day by day But much to my surprise Lord I made it out alive An' my world is looking anything but grey I came through with flyin' colors A little black and blue From the wear and tear But love got the best of me An' I turn green with jealousy When you made it crystal clear you did not care I came through with flyin' colors My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through I should win the Purple Heart 'Cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flyin' colors After losin' you Yes I've got a yell'er streak 'Cause I know your places weak An' I still get pale whenever you're in sight I may shade out of my mind Oh but I'm not color blind 'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white I came through with flyin' colors A little black and blue From the wear and tear But love got the best of me An' I turn green with jealousy When you made it crystal clear you did not care I came through with flyin' colors My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through Oh I should win the Purple Heart 'Cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flyin' colors After losin' you Oh I should win the Purple Heart 'Cause you tore mine all apart But I came through with flyin' colors After losin' you
