[Verse]
I was a drifter down a gravel road,
With nothing to carry but a heavy load.
The days were gray, the nights too long,
Life was a whisper, not a song.
[Chorus]
In hindsight, my love before you was black and white,
A faded world with no color in sight.
But then you came and painted the skies,
With hues so bright, it opened my eyes.
[Verse 2]
The coffee was bitter, the mornings were cold,
But nothing felt broken, just achingly old.
I’d sit by the river, watch it just flow,
Not a spark to feel, nothing to show.
[Chorus]
In hindsight, my love before you was black and white,
A faded world with no color in sight.
But then you came and painted the skies,
With hues so bright, it opened my eyes.
[Bridge]
Your laugh turned the winter to springtime bloom,
Your touch lit a fire in the shadowed room.
Now I see the beauty in every fall leaf,
Your love’s a rainbow that brought me relief.
[Chorus]
In hindsight, my love before you was black and white,
A faded world with no color in sight.
But then you came and painted the skies,
With hues so bright, it opened my eyes.
