You had your life
And I had mine
And together we could
Do it all
We were the greatest black and white
We were every curtain call

You'd walk through that door
With that grin of yours
You were always running late
We'd orde a beer and we'd cheer
What seemed to be our fate

Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just look better
In black and white

Somebody said
The sweetest thing
Is when love is blind
I couldn't ever see a thing
Without you there all the time

Will you drive me home
Cause it's getting late
And pretend that we still care
And show me the passion
Just one more night
To make me want you when you're not here

Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just
Look better in black and white

Always and forever
Did we just burn too bright
And I guess things just
Look better in black and white

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
