It seemed too late to change my mind
I put my suitcase in the car
You looked at me like you used to sometimes
I knew that we'd gone too far
We fought last night in that restaurant
In our own private little way
That couple we were with never did notice it
When we finally ran out of things to say
Some people see in color
Some people see in black and white
I love you more than I ever did before
I wish that we could see the light
I saw you cry in my rearview mirror
I drove on and tried to look away
I told myself there would be something else
But I'm still looking back at you today
I keep wondering how I could fix things now
After what we've put each other through
Now that I'm all, had it made, Lord, I'm so afraid
I'll have to live my whole life missing you
[ALT. VERSE FROM COLORADO DEMOS]
I've done what I can do to please you
I always thought I would somehow
I know how hard you've tried to please me too
I don't know what we'll do now
Some people see in color
Some people see in black and white
I love you more than I ever did before
I wish that we could see the light
Some people see in color
Some people see in black and white
I love you more than I ever did before
I wish that we could see the light
I wish that we could see the light
