Carole King (born 9 February 1942) is a jewish-american singer-songwriter. She was most active as a singer during the first half of the 1970s, but she was a successful songwriter for considerably longer both before and after this period. Born in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York, Carole Klein (as she was then known) started out playing the piano and then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines in high school. While attending Queens College, King befriended Paul Simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually marrying, working in the famous Brill Building, where chart-topping hits were churned out during the 1960s.

Colour of Your Dreams Lyrics

Carole King

Live in the colour of your dreams
Know everything you see is not quite what it seems
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
All you gotta do is say you will
Go for the vision in your mind
Throw all your doubt away, just leave it all behind
You are the owner of the game
Nothing will ever be the same once you have played it
You know you're gonna win if you just say you will
Oh, everything you'll ever need you already know
Oh, the only place to go
Is where angels ride the sunset and heaven lies below
So dream of the day when you will fly
And let the wings of your destiny carry you through the sky
Take everything you have to give
If you believe it, you can make it what you want to
And be living in the colour of your dreams
