Lyrics Shades of the Past - Debbie Gibson

VERSE 1:
Red as the roses come
My love it never was
Dark as the evening sky
We let love pass us by
I was caught in the middle
Somewhere in the gray
Now it's time to leave that all behind
My uncertain yesterdays

CHORUS:
Now it's black or white
Now it's wrong or right
I can't live without you here
Shades of the past are long gone
I've got one thing on my mind...
There's a choice to make
There'll be no mistake
The time has come around
I'm leaving no middle ground
...let my heart be the only sound

VERSE 2:
Pink is not red or white
But you brought me pink roses tonight
And I got to thinking to myself
Oh the time is right
A promise is stronger
Than a whisper
So I say "goodbye" to our yesterdays
And leave behind those shades of gray

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS

...let my heart be the only, only sound
(Black or white, wrong or right)
Oh there's a choice to make
There'll be no mistake
The time has come around
I'm leaving no middle ground
...let my heart be the only (only) sound
