Without Michelangelo

Foster Jen

Black is only black until you light a candle
 Stone is only stone until you take a hammer
 And this song was just a song until the day you came along
 And wrote this wrong

 It wouldn't be David without Michelangelo
 No Starry, Starry Night without the light of Van Gogh
 And I'll never be the same since you put me in your frame
 And signed your name

 War is only war until you lose somebody
 Love is only love until I touched your body
 Imagine a world without John Lennon, 
 Te rain and the wind without Bob Dylan

 Blue without Joni, blue without Miles
 But every song is just a song
 Until somebody comes along and makes it sing

 It wouldn't be David without Michelangelo
 No Starry, Starry Night without the light of Van Gogh
 And I'll never be the same since you put me in your frame
 And signed your name

 Black is just black until you light a candle
 Stone is just stone until you take a hammer
 War is just war until you lose someone
 Love is…
