Backstory:

Like many of my songs, putting jazzy chords together in interesting ways starts things off.  Then the melody springs from that.  I had just heard a song that rhymed 'was' and 'does' and thought that was cool.  Then the lyric just spilled out.                                               

Lyrics:

                                                  
"NO SHADE OF GRAY"

Prelude

I - WANT - TO - KNOW, THAT LIFE GOES ON THE WAY IT DOES

‘CAUSE OUR LOVE IS AS STRONG AS IT EVER WAS 

AND THAT’S WHY - I - SAY ...


Verse 1

NO SHADE OF GRAY WILL GET YOU – VERY FAR

IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER

NO SHADE OF GRAY CAN COLOUR MY HEART …

 
SO IF YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO BEGIN 

THEN YOU GOTTA TO BE ALL IN WITH ME – DON’T YOU SEE? 

ONLY ME -- THEY’LL BE NO...       

 
Verse 2

NO SHADES OF PLAY WITH ANY—JOKERS WILD

OR GAMES WITH CHIPS FALLING WHERE THEY MAY

NO SHADE OF GRAY CAN COLOR MY STYLE ...

 
SO IF YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO BEGIN 

THEN YOU GOTTA TO BE ALL IN WITH ME – DON’T YOU SEE? 

ONLY ME – OH IT WOULD BE SUCH A


Bridge

SIN IF EVERY NIGHT WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES

I’M NOT THE ONE THAT YOU'RE DREAMIN' OF

AND AS YOU LAY THERE SO CLOSE BY MY SIDE    

I WANNA KNOW - YEAH ... 


Interlude

I – WANT - TO - KNOW, THAT LIFE GOES ON THE WAY IT DOES

‘CAUSE OUR LOVE IS AS STRONG AS IT EVER WAS 

THAT'S WHY - I MUST SAY ...

 
Verse 3

NO SHADE OF GRAY FOR ME IS - QUITE ENOUGH 

SO IF YOU WANT ME TO TURN IT UP

NO SHADE OF GRAY CAN COLOUR MY LOVE ...

 
SO IF YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO BEGIN 

THEN YOU GOT TO BE ALL IN WITH ME – DON’T YOU SEE?    

ONLY ME—DON’T YOU SEE?  OOH - OOH - OOH ... OOH
