Standing in the Shadows
[Verse 1]
When you're walking down the isle
With your new love by your side
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
When you say your sacred vows
I'll repeat them with you too
But I'll be standing in the shadows watching you

[Bridge]
I remember all the times you whispered you were mine
As I watch her take my place with you

[Verse 2]
When the rice begins to fly
I'll throw a kiss as you go by
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When her mother starts to cry
I'll stand and watch my dreams all die
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
When they give the bride away
Then I'll know you're gone to stay
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
[Bridge]
I remember all the times you whispered you were mine
As I watch her take my place with you

[Verse 2]
When the rice begins to fly
I'll throw a kiss as you go by
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
