(with Spanish subtitles – lyrics are below)
You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness oh inside you
Make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

I prefer the Phil Collins version, personally, but I love Lauper’s spunk and unique voice.

Beautiful! I remember when she first released this song, but I really like this acoustic version. I was surprised when it started – I never get that beautiful sound out of my mountain dulcimer (tho’ maybe now I’ll practice). But then I listened again, and read along with the lyrics, until I couldn’t because I was crying too hard. I’ve hit an emotional funk, so this song nailed me. But beautifully. Thanks.

PS – Phil Collins has been a favorite performer of mine, but I had never heard his rendition. Also beautiful!
