Well I have a picture in color of you

And it's there in my room to remind me of you

So it was with surprise that I saw you today

And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?



For the colors are gone

You've become kind of gray

And you're not like the swan

That I knew yesterday...



Now the pictures are wrong

You've become kind of gray

I imagine the swan

That you were yesterday...



The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes

And the truth on my face was hard to disguse

So I let you walk by

I turned out of your way

And I tried to close my eyes

And let the sadness fall away...



For the colors are gone

You've become kind of gray

And you're not like the swan

That I knew yesterday...



Now the pictures are wrong

You've become kind of gray

I imagine the swan

That you were yesterday...
