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
