standing in the shadows of love

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 didn'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.
