With a southern boy's charm
and she felt good in his arms
And he loved her and she loved him
Their friends said it won’t last
That’s just a fact
It’s such a different world
on that side of the tracks
But he loved her and she loved him
Love is colorblind. It ain’t black and it ain’t white
It’s just shades of heart and soul, and it gets you every time
It sees the good, paints what’s right, and leaves the doubt behind
Love is colorblind
He bought her a little house out on the edge of town
They spent the next sixty years or so chasing kids around
Cause he loved her and she loved him
Soon he’s turning ninety. She’s pushing eighty-nine.
I guess their friends were wrong. It’s been a wonderful life.
And he loves her and she loves him.
We’ve come a long, long way. We still got a ways to go.
I guess the world's still learning what they’ve always known.
Love is colorblind. It ain’t black and it ain’t white.
It’s just shades of heart and soul, and it gets you every time.
It sees the good, paints what’s right, and leaves the doubt behind.
Love is colorblind
