I wait in the shadows for someday,
It may or may never come.
I wait in the shadows for someday,
And hope for a love that is warm.

I wait in the shadows for someday
And the shadows grow darker and cold.
I wait in the shadows for someday
In silence and fear I grow old.

But my spirit grows tired of the shadows,
I long for the sun and the light.
I long for the laughter and joy,
I want to run out of the night.

So I pick up a heart that is shattered
And I tuck it under my arm.
I stamp on the hope that had mattered
And march out of the stillness and calm.

Yes, it's true I may live to regret it
And if I'd waited I may even have won;
But the wait also may never reward me
Tell me just what you'd have done.
