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
