Grandpa's Black and White

[Intro] [Verse] Grandpa said he brought home a magic box, Black and white, wooden case, no joke. Excitement filled the air, a new sight, Fuzzy picture, no color, just light. [Chorus] But family thought he was just foolin’ around, Laughter rang out, no one listened to sound. Black and white, so simple, so clear, They didn’t see the magic, the wonder, the cheer. [Chorus] Grandpa held up the box, big grin on his face, Family shook their heads, “Not this again, not twice.” He told them about the static, the dots, But still, they laughed, didn’t think it was lots. [Bridge] In his heart, he felt so small and alone, Wished they’d see what he saw, what he sown. Told them stories, but they never heard, Just another grandpa, telling tales, not heard. [Verse] Years later, they watched shows in color, Thought back to that day, with a smirk. Black and white, how quaint, how old, But for Grandpa, it was where it all started. [Chorus] Now they laugh at the memory, Black and white, a time long gone by. But Grandpa knows, in his heart, That magic box, a part of his art. [Chorus] So here’s to the past, to the black and white, To the days when life was simpler, more right. Though they laughed, Grandpa knew deep inside, Black and white, a story that’s true and tried. [Outro]
