Shades of the Past

VERSE 1:

Red as the roses come

My love it never was

Dark as the evening sky

We let love pass us by

I was caught in the middle

Somewhere in the gray

Now it's time to leave that all behind

My uncertain yesterdays

CHORUS:

Now it's black or white

Now it's wrong or right

I can't live without you here

Shades of the past are long gone

I've got one thing on my mind...

There's a choice to make

There'll be no mistake

The time has come around

I'm leaving no middle ground

...let my heart be the only sound

VERSE 2:

Pink is not red or white

But you brought me pink roses tonight

And I got to thinking to myself

Oh the time is right

A promise is stronger

Than a whisper

So I say "goodbye" to our yesterdays

And leave behind those shades of gray

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS

...let my heart be the only, only sound

(black or white, wrong or right)

Oh there's a choice to make

There'll be no mistake

The time has come around

I'm leaving no middle ground

...let my heart be the only (only) sound
