Long long ago
When I was but just a child
I remember my friend Willie
He was black and I was white
But it did not seem to matter
Color is something we’d play

And I wish that’s how it still was today
But as time went by we went color blind
Yes we seemed to lose our sight
And all we could see was black and white
Yes were older now but we were much older then

When color was something we’d play
And I wish that’s how it still was today
Don’t judge me by what you see
Look into my heart
Can we now be friends
Long, Long ago

When I was just a child
I remember drawing pictures
Of rainbows in the sky
And if one color was missing
It just would not be the same

And I wish that’s how it still was today
But as time went by we went color blind
Yes we seemed to lose our sight
And all we could see was black and white
Yes were older now but we were much older then

When color was something we’d play
And I wish that’s how it still was today
