Black And White
I used to dream in colors that were bold and bright
But now my dreams have faded to a silent black and white
What adventure awaits us down the yellow brick road
With friends along to help us, carry a heavy load
Flying through the clouds with a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Supercalifragilistic was the song that they sang
Everything is possible, you need only dream
Let you little engine build up a head of steam
But dreams soon fade like bubbles bursting in the air
And the realization comes that life’s not always fair
I used to dream in color and look forward to the night
Time and trial take their toll then fade to black and white
