Karaoke In Color

I said, Grandpa what's this picture here?
It's all black and white and ain't real clear
Is that you there?
He said yeah I was eleven
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 trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color
Oh 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 McGee
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 trying to save each other
You should have 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 have seen it in color
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 that smile
I was so proud
That's the story of my life
Right there in black and white
And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have 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 have seen it in color
You should have 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 have seen it in color
