“The Color of my Love” by Celine Dion
“The Color of my Love” mainly describes Celine Dion’s love for her partner in an artistic manner. The singer is totally convinced about her feelings that she decides to elaborate on them using metaphors. She portrays herself as a painter who will do everything she can to draw him closer to herself. It appears that this person may be having some doubts, yet the singer promises to make him feel much better.
Celine talks about painting a sun to warm his heart to mean that she can ease him of all the stress and pain which have made his heart cold.
It is very likely that the couple might be getting married as a ring and vows are mentioned. She ends by promising to be more committed to the relationship and never to leave.
