There were days and nights I wondered (If I’d spend my life alone) I’ve looked in the mirror (To see if something’s wrong) There were questions left unanswered That I’d asked a thousand times But I never found a reason (Until you) Not to go out of my mind I never thought about tomorrow Until you I never knew that love could be so real Until you I’ve never had my heart on fire Filled with this desire For someone to make me new I thought my hopes for real love were through Nothing else that I could do To have all my dreams come true Until you We’ve shared everything And it’s still hard to believe I have found that someone With a lifetime guarantee I knew when I was searching But didn’t think I’d find That one perfect companion Until the end of time REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

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
