 You with the sad eyes, don't  be discouraged
 Oh I realize  it's hard  to take courage
 In a world  full of people, you  can lose sight of  it all
 And the darkness inside  you make you feel  so  small
 But I'll see your true colors shining  through
 I'll 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
 Intro)
 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
 Intro)
 Oooo....(whispered) can't remember when I last saw you laughing
 (sung) 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
 FINAL CHORUS:
 And I'll see your true colors shining through
 I'll 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 are  shining  through
 I'll 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
Am
Beautiful, Like a Rainbow
