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
