作词 : Miller, Lee Thomas / Otto, James 作曲 : Miller, Lee Thomas / Otto, James I said, Grandpa what’s this picture here It’s all black and white and ain’t real clear Is that you he said, yeah I was eleven
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 have 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
And if it looks like we were scared to death Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other You should have 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 have seen it in color
This one is my favorite one It’s 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 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 have 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 have seen it in color
You should have 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 have seen it in color
