  What color are the stars, The sky in other worlds, And the moon? What color are the mountains in lands Ruled by kings and queens, Where giants roam And Faun’s have tea? What color is your heart , When you dream about faraway lands Or the ones you love? What color is the hot summer breeze That catches your summer dress As you sit on the deck drinking lemonade?
