Well I have a picture in color of you And it's there in my room to remind me of you So it was with surprise that I saw you today And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?
For the colors are gone You've become kind of gray And you're not like the swan That I knew yesterday
Now the pictures are wrong You've become kind of gray I imagine the swan That you were yesterday
The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes And the truth on my face was hard to disguise So I let you walk by I turned out of your way And I tried to close my eyes And let the sadness fall away
For the colors are gone You've become kind of gray And you're not like the swan That I knew yesterday
Now the pictures are wrong You've become kind of gray I imagine the swan That you were yesterday
