Lyrics:

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
