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
