Once upon a time the evening sky was tangerine
But colors faded with time like photographs
Of how our love used to be

Now I'm dreaming in color
All alone in my room tonight
Dreaming in color
But I'm living in black and white

These pictures tell the truth
How you and I just ran out of time
And you became a wild rose
And me a spirit growing on the vine

Dreaming in color
All alone in my room tonight
Dreaming in color
But I'm living in black and white

Gonna take all those photographs
Faded, tattered, and torn in half
And one last time I'll cry and laugh
Then I'll leave the past behind
Its time to leave the past behind

Dreaming in color
Got my eyes wide open tonight
Dreaming in color
Don't want to be living in black and white
No more living in black and white
