Cyrus, Billy Ray - Dreamin' In Color, Livin' In Black And White Lyrics






There's a cruel sun beatin' where there once was a river
Crops are bendin' in the heat but still her dark skin shivers
When you move to the beat of hungry it's a slow achin' journey
She'd hide but there ain't no shelter she'd cry but there ain't no pity yet
The cool of the night reveals the spark of a sweeter life
So she's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
She ain't about to let the blues overcome her
She'll contend with this day to day life
She's just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white

Well it's a gunshot dawn here in the heart of the city
He slides closer to his mama it's months since they've seen daddy
There's a pale light shinin' from a bare refrigerator
By the stained cracked plaster by the cold radiator
But he's sure out beyond these mean streets there lies paradise
So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
He ain't about to let the blues overcome him
He'll contend with this day to day life
He's just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white

Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right
They ain't about to let the blues overcome them
They'll contend with this day to day life
They're just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white
They're just dreamin' in color livin' in black and white
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white
Dreamin' in color livin' in black and white

  1. M.... O....

    Well there's a cruel sun beating
    Where there once was a river
    Crops are bending in the heat
    But still her dark skin shivers


    When you move to the beat of hungry
    It's a slow aching journey
    She'd hide but there ain't no shelter
    She'd cry but there ain't no pity
    Yet the cool of the night
    Reveals the spark of a sweeter life


    So she dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
    Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
    Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
    Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right


    She ain't about to let the blues over come her
    She'll contend with this day to day life
    She's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white


    Well it's a gunshot dawn
    Here in the heart of the city
    He slides closer to his mama
    It's months since they've seen daddy


    There's a pale light shinin'
    From a bare refrigerator
    By the stained cracked plaster
    By the cold radiator
    But he's sure out beyond these mean streets
    There lies paradise


    So he's dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
    Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
    Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
    Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right


    He ain't about to let the blues over come him
    He'll contend with this day to day life
    He's just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
    Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white
    Sittin' in a grey day leanin' on a bright new tomorrow
    Where some rainbow rules will make everything all right


    They ain't about to let the blues over come 'em
    They'll contend with this day life
    They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
    They're just dreamin' in color and livin' in black and white
    Dreamin' in color livin' in stone cold black and white [Repeat: x4]
