Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair - Meshell Ndegeocello, Valerie June

Black is the color of, of my true love’s hair

Black is the color of my love, so fair

Black is her body, so firm, so bold

Black is her beauty, her soul of gold

I carry my love in my heart

Every, everywhere

And no matter where I go

She is always there

I remember how she came to me

In a vision of my mind

I remember how she said to me

Don’t ever look behind

Look ahead and I would see someone

Someone always loving me

Her picture is painted in my memory

Without a color of despair

And no matter where I go

She’s always there
