Black Is the Color Lyrics

Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The clearest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground where on he stands

I love my love, and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
If he no more on earth would stay
My life would quickly fade away

I love my love, and well he knows
I love the ground whereon he goes
And still I hope the time will come
When he and I will be as one

Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair
His face is something wondrous fair
The clearest eyes and the strongest hands
I love the ground where on he stands

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
