Lyrics:
BLUES IN BLACK AND WHITE
There’s a letter in my billfold
Its folded edges torn
Read but once
Many years ago
Told me things I can’t forget
Things I didn’t want to know
Brought tears to my eyes
That fell to the floor
A white sheet of paper
Ink dark as the moonless night
And when the writing stopped
It was the blues in black and white
Words way too painful
Sealed up and mailed
The blues in black and white
Lingers like a shadow on my life
Every time my heart goes crazy
When a new love comes along
I think about
The one that went wrong
Reminded by the letter
I can’t let my head turn
That little piece of paper
Was a strong lesson learned
REPEAT CHORUS
Why I’ve kept the letter
Isn’t easy to say
Something always kept me
From throwing it away
Just a little reminder
To keep me
From throwing caution to the wind
REPEAT CHORUS
