Standing in the
shadows of love
I'm getting ready
for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me
standing in the
shadows of love
I'm getting ready
for the heartaches to come
I wanna run
but there's nowhere 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 my reasons for living
when you pushed aside
all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you
right now baby
didn't I
Didn't I do the best
I could now
didn't I
So don't you leave me
standing in the
shadows of love
I'm getting ready
for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me
standing in the
shadows of love
Just trying my best
to get ready
for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
with misery
my only company
It may come today
and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure
I ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now don't your conscience
kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
after all I've done for you
Now hold on a minute
Gave you all the love
I had now
didn't I
When you needed me
I was always there now
wasn't I
Standing in the
shadows of love
Getting ready
for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not
to cry out loud
You know crying
it ain't gonna help me now
What did I do
to cause all this grief
Now what did I say
to make you wanna leave
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart
and soul to you now
didn't I
And didn't I always
treat you good now
didn't I
I'm standing in the
shadows of love
I'm getting ready
for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me
standing in the
shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready
for the heartaches to come
Oh I'm standing in the
shadows of love
