NOTESIn the guise of a simple love ballad, this arrangement revels in beauty, standing in awe before the myriad colors of sky and sea. Performers should take their time and strive for a true celebration of the beauty of choral voices.
The song is appropriate for high school and community choirs, and if viewed through a spiritual lens can also be used in worship services that focus on the beauty of nature. LYRICSThe silver white waves wash up and bathe my feet,
I look out but cannot see the other side. The surface water sways, azure, gold and green, glittering the full spectrum of light. The sea is not blue, the sea is like you. A thousand different colors, moving all together, more beautiful than words. It's a symphony of sound singing subtly but loud, more beautiful than words. The sun goes down and disappears, the clouds wave their goodbyes, in a masterpiece of light and melody. Wind whispers in my ears and sings a lullaby, as seagulls call and surf the evening breeze. The sky is not blue, the sky is like you. A thousand different colors... How great is the expanse of all you are to me, I try, but still I can't describe all your diversity. How you love, how you lead, like the sky, like the sea. A thousand different colors... More beautiful. — Audrey Woodhams Copyright Audrey Woodhams All rights reserved. Used by permission.
