Take me back to the day
Back when love was young
And dresses were in bloom
Heels were in the kitchen
Or meeting you at the door
Take me back to black and white
The Rat Pack in Vegas
Martin and Lewis on the big screen
Dinner around the table
And holding hands in prayer
Take me back to the early days of color
Big band blasting on the radio
Style over aerodynamics
Bright red lipstick
Fedora on the brow
Take me back to the day
Back when love was cool
And polished wig tips
Paper in the morning
With breakfast on the table
Take me back to black and white
TV in the living room
Or gathered around the radio
A stool at the malt shop
With a cheery on top
Take me back to the early days of color
Wayne and the western
Bing at the microphone
Full service gas stations
When service meant something
Take me back to the day
Close my eyes and pretend
About a time I don’t remember
A time of beginnings
When life was black and white
And full of color

That's really good, Steve. I too love to reminisce about the good old days that I never experienced in the first place - the late 50s, Vegas, the Rat Pack. Good stuff!
Oh, I think I'm gonna repost this on my page so I can watch it all the time!!!!
Do you know that quite a few channels when showing Holiday Inn, don't show it in it's entirety? They leave out the Lincoln Day Show because it's in black face. This drives me NUTS!!!
