Standing in the shadows of love

Waitin' for the heartaches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love

I getting ready for the heartaches to come

I'd run but there's no where to go

'Cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love, the love I need

It's the beginning of the end for me

'Cause you've taken away all me reasons for livin'

When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving

Now wait a minute

Didn't I teach you right, didn't I?

Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I?

So don't you leave me standin' in the shadow of love

I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come

Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love

Just tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come



All alone I'll desperately be

With misery my only company

Come today, in fact come tomorrow

Sorrow, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow

Don't your conscience bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you

Now hold a minute

Gave you all the love I had, didn't I?

When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I?

(Standing in the shadows of love

Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come)

I've tried not to cry out loud

No gal you ain't gonna help me now

What did I do to cause all this grief

Now what'd I say to make you want to leave

Now wait a minute

I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?

Now din't I always treat you good, didn't I?

I'm Standing in the shadows of love

I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come

Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love

Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of..........(fade
