Black And White World

I used to see in color

But now it's only black and white

Black and white

I used to hear your voice

But now I can't make out the sound

Not a sound

And in the solitude I've crafted for myself

I cried a single tear for beauty left unfelt

I used to smell your presence

Like fragrant roses on the wind

On the wind

The sweetest fruit is tasteless

I reach to touch, but nothing's there

I'm grasping only air

And in the emptiness felt deep inside

I search for memories of what real life was like

When hope is gone and love has died

There's only emptiness inside

And all the colors drain from sight

My world is left in black and white

My hands reach for you

Can't you feel them

Don't you know I'm there

Your heart is holding back

Let it go

And feel the love rush in

Don't think about the future

Don't think about the past

Just hold the moment next to you

And make it last

Let me in

This is too good to be wrong

Make me live again

And I will make you whole

Run together, along the beach

Tumble laughing

That dream's not out of reach for me

Fading shadows on the sand

Don't give up now

Simply put your hand in mine

At the ocean, touch the sea

Feel my presence

As though you're standing next to me

On other shores, where you're my girl

And pull me out of this black and white world

Take my hand now, hold it tight

Feel my presence

And know that it will be all right

At the ocean, touch the sea

Feel my heartbeat

And know that this was meant to be

Love will lead with us in tow

No more obstacles

Ahead of us the open road

Color overcomes this night

My world's no longer black and white

Black and white world
