about

She’s a little older now, but still my angel. For Claire.

lyrics

Color of Love
words & music by D.P. Knudten

Let me sing you a story in rhythm & rhyme
Of a pearl most precious and rare
A princess in waiting, a star barely born
I sing of the beauty, Bay Claire

She came of a sudden just past evensong
Unexpected but well welcome there
A gift from her mother to this blessed man
A girl we christened Bay Claire

chorus
Oh, how I wish you could feel
How she smiles at me
Growing warm like the sun escaping a cloud
And oh, how I wish you could learn
What she’s taught me
All the tints, shades and colors of love

But she’s got a sister thinks mischief
The greatest game to play
Can’t wait to enlist her
To help turn her daddy’s hair gray

chorus

But for now she’s an angel
That fell from a cloud
And landed right in my arms
As for me it’s all over,
She’s captured my heart
I surrender to her many charms

about

D.P. Knudten Madison, Wisconsin

D is for David. P is for Paul. And Knudten needs to be pronounced 'canoe ten.' I'm a longtime singer-songwriter who loves having a reason to buy new guitars, and that's exactly what songwriting does. All opinions are my own. Assume good intent. - dp
