Happy New Year all!! We made it to '22!! I've always loved the 60's sound, and BIAB has given me the tools to put together some songs with that vibe. I was always a big fan of the Byrd's sound and have done a few with the aim of capturing that style. This is one. I always love to hear your comments and read them all but sometimes I wait too long and don't want to jump to the top from page 4 (things move fast these days!). Hope you enjoy. Take care. Greg

When she wore green

When she wore green
Like the star of a movie screen
With the elegance of a queen
She wore it true

I’ve never seen
An emerald could ever shine
As bright as that love of mine
When she wore green

And I’m sure the trees were jealous
How they paled when she walked by
And a passerby would tell us
How her smile lit up the sky
And I haven’t seen a light so bright
Since the day she went away
And since she’s gone now
My whole world is gray

When she wore blue
You could see she was sad right through
Even the shadows knew
They grew darker still
She wore it true
And felt it with all her soul
Sorrow without control
When she wore blue

And she had this way of sharing
All her colors with the world
And she had this way of caring
More than any other girl
And…

Where’s the beauty in a rainbow when your whole world’s black and white
I can’t even face the world until the stars come out at night

When she wore black
I felt my foundation crack
She’d leave and she wouldn’t be back
And how lost I would be
When I look back
I guess that I should have seen
The size of the gap between
Herr bright colors and me

There’s a danger comes from flying
When you’re too far from the ground
But it’s hard to keep from trying
For the fear of falling down
Her colors were so beautiful
I could touch them yesterday, but…..
