James T. Slater - My Life in Black and White Lyrics




My mother bought a piano, that her first born would play
There were times i hated her for that
Now i thank her every day
A kid from Carolina, raised in panama
Oh the things i have seen
From here to Barcelona, Switzerland to Roma
I've tickled these ivories

that's my life in black and white
all the high and low notes, blend into one
living for the song and the rhyme
that's my life in black and white

There've been times when i've been lonely
But the piano never leaves you alone
From Chopin to the blues, she's a mistress and a muse
And every melody is a song
I have kissed the shores of Africa
Been drunk down in New Orleans
Playing ragtime and waltzes when all i ever wanted
Was to find the magic in the melody

That's my life in black and white
All the high and low notes, blend into one
Living for the song and the rhyme
That's my life in black and white

(piano solo)

My mother bought a piano that her first born would play
There were times I hated her for that
Now I thank her, every day ...
