Standing in the shadows of love

I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come, don't you see me

Standing in the shadows of love

Verse 2

All alone my destiny

With misery my only company

It may come today, it might come tomorrow

But it's for sure I ain't got nothing but sorrow

Now don't your conscience try to 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?

Verse 3

(Standing in the shadows of love)

(Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come)

I'm tryin' not to cry out loud

You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me now

What did I do to cause all this grief

Now what did I say to make you want to leave

Now wait a minute

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

And didn't I always treat you good, now, didn't I?

Chorus 3

I'm standing in the shadows of love

I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come, don't you see me

Standing in the shadows of love

Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come, oh, I'm
