Lyrics

Wait ing here for some one.

On ly yes ter day, we were on the run.

You smiled back at (G)me, and your face lit up the sun.

Why’s it on ly (C)you I’m think ing (G)of?

My shad ow’s danc ing with out you for the first time.

My heart is hop ing you’ll walk right in to night and (F)tell me there are things that you re gret.
