In Color Lyrics - Singles - Shelby Brown

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 trying to save each other 

You should've seen it in color 

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 

If it looks like we were scared to death 

Like a couple of kids just trying 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 

And 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'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 

(Should've seen it in color)
