In Color |
I said Grandpa what’s this picture here |
It’s all black and white, and it ain’t real clear |
Is that you there, he said yeah, I was eleven |
And times were tough, back in thirty-five |
That’s me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive |
A cotton farm, in the Great Depression |
And if it looks like we were scared to death |
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other |
You should’ve seen it in color |
Hey this one here was taken overseas |
In the middle of hell, in nineteen forty-three |
In the winter time, you can almost see my breath |
That was my tail gunner ole' Johnny Lafitte |
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans |
And he had my back, right through the day we left |
And if it looks like we were scared to death |
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other |
You should’ve seen it in color |
A picture’s worth a thousand words |
But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered |
You should’ve seen it in color |
Now this one is my favorite one |
This is me and grandma in the, summer sun |
All dressed up, the day we said our vows |
You can’t tell it here but it was hot that June |
And that rose was red and her eyes were blue |
And just look at me smile, I was so proud |
Son that’s the story of my life |
It’s all right there in black and white |
And if it looks like we were scared to death |
Like a couple of kids just tryin' to save each other |
You should’ve seen it in color |
A picture’s worth a thousand words |
But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered |
You should’ve seen it in color |
Yeah a picture’s worth a thousand words |
But you can’t see what those shades of gray keep covered |
You should’ve seen it in color |
You should’ve seen it in color |
