Black is the color of, of my true love's hair Black is the color of my love, so fair Black is her body, so firm, so bold Black is her beauty, her soul of gold
I carry my love in my heart Every, everywhere And no matter where I go She is always there
I remember how she came to me In a vision of my mind I remember how she said to me Don't ever look behind Look ahead and I would see someone Someone always loving me
Her picture is painted in my memory Without a color of despair And no matter where I go She's always there
