Hi my lovely friends/ hola mis encantadores amigos,

It's another awesome Open mic week and I am so excited to be back here again with good music. So far, I have listened to our wonderful entries and I must say, thanks for always blessing my ears.

For this week's theme "COLORFUL" given by my good friend and music mother @mipiano who is also a good friend to us all, I bring to you this old and lovely song titled "LADY IN RED BY CHRIS DE BURGH".

I have heard other versions of this song, especially that of Eric Donaldson but my heart still beats for Chris De Burgh's version,

This song talks about a particular lady in Red and how she catches the eye of the singer with her colorful red dress. The singer further expresses himself by saying "I have been blind".

This song indeed shows the true power of colors and how different meanings and sparks can be gotten all from using the right shade. Colors are like human tools and with them, we can express ourselves without spoken words.

Habe you went out with a female friend on a date and when you first see her in that colorful gown, you first wonder if that's the same friend you knew all along?😂 I have had such a wonderful experience too and it just goes to show how much colors can change a person's look, how colors can add more meaning and set tones right.

Colors are very important. Thanks to @mipiano for this awesome theme.

Furthermore, this week's theme also encourages exploring new territories and so, I decided to do an acapella for this beautiful song. It's my first time singing along to an instrumental here and I hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS

"The Lady In Red"

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...
