What colour is the wind, Daddy 

Is it yellow, red or blue 

When he's playing with my hair, Daddy 

Does he do the same to you 

When he's dying does his colour fade 

Is a gentle breeze a lighter shade 

Just like his friend the sea 

The wind feels blue to me 

------- 

When the blackbird starts to sing, Daddy 

Do the flowers hear him, too 

When he's pouring out his heart, Daddy 

Tell me, what do roses do 

Do they cast their scent upon the air 

And is fragrance just a rose in prayer 

Giving thanks to God above 

For the blackbird's song of love 

------- 

CHORUS: 

Blow, wind, blow 

Wild and free 

My Daddy says 

You're a lot like me 



I know each colour 

Its shape and size 

I've seen them all 

With my Daddy's eyes 

------- 

I know that grass is green, Daddy 

I've touched it with my toes 

And snow is purest white, Daddy 

I've felt it with my nose 

But my favorite colour has to be 

The colour of your love for me 

And Daddy, I've been told 

That love is always gold 

------- 

REPEAT CHORUS: 

My Daddy says 

You're a lot like me 

What colour is the wind
