the best song in the world!!!

I said, Grandpa what's this picture here

It's all black and white and ain't real clear
Is that you there, he said, yeah I was eleven
Times were tough back in thirty-five

That's me and Uncle Joe just tryin' to survive
A cotton farm in the Great Depression


And if it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color


This one here was taken overseas
In the middle of hell in nineteen forty-three

In the winter time you can almost see my breath
That was my tail gunner ole' Johnny McGee
He was a high school teacher from New Orleans

And he had my back right through the day we left

And if it looks like we were scared to death

Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color


A picture's worth a thousand words
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color


This one is my favorite one
This is me and grandma in the summer sun

All dressed up the day we said our vows
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
That rose was red and her eyes were blue

And just look at that smile I was so proud

That's the story of my life

Right there in black and white

And if it looks like we were scared to death

Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should have seen it in color


A picture's worth a thousand words
But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered
You should have seen it in color


You should have seen it in color
