"Wear Your Love Like Heaven" is a song and US single by British singer-songwriter Donovan, released in 1967. It became the opening track of his 1967 double-disc album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. It peaked at No. 23 in the Billboard Hot 100.
The song mentions seven dye and pigment colours: Prussian blue, scarlet, crimson, Havana lake, rose carmethene, alizarin crimson and carmine.
According to Billboard, the single has a "vital lyric message backed by a solid dance beat".[2] Cash Box said that it has "a message of love that should prove itself one of the chanter’s brightest sellers" and that the "easy-going steady beat lacks the basic drive of 'There Is A Mountain' but puts far more melodic beauty in this side."[3]
