Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I said grandCpa whats this picture here
Its all blBback and white it aint real clear
Is thaFt you there?
He said yeah i was C11
CTimes were tough back in '35
ThatsBb me and uncle Joe just tryin to survive
A coFtton farm in the great depCression.
Chorus:
If it lCooks like we were scared to death
Like a cBbouple of kids just trying to save each otFher
You should've seen it in coClor.
Verse 2:
COh and this one here was taken over seas
In the miBbddle of hell in 1943
In the winter time you can almost see my bFreath
CThat was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee
BbHe was a high school teacher from new Orleans
And he had myF back right through the day we left. C
Chorus:
If it lCooks like we were scared to death
Like a cBbouple of kids just trying to save each otFher
You should've seen it in coClor.
A picCture's worth a thousand words
But you canBbt see what those
shades of gray keep covered F
You should've seen it inC color
Verse 3:
CThis one is my favorite one.
This is me Bband grandma in the summer sun
All dFressed up the day we said our vows. C
You caCn't tell it here but it was hot that June
BbThat rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile, I wFas so proud. C
Bridge:

Chorus:
If it lCooks like we were scared to death
Like a cBbouple of kids just trying to save each otFher
You should've seen it in coClor.
A picCture's worth a thousand words
But you canBbt see what those
shades of gray keep covered F
You should've seen it inC color
