Waiting in the Wings

V1 The party’s over; the plates all cleared,
At the kitchen sink the memories swim.
From the front room the laugher drifts in.
You heave a smile for this has been your life,

CH Waiting in the Wings never ready for the stage
Resigned to your life taught to act your age
Not the model housewife on the magazine’s front page
Waiting in the Wings

V2 If you could reach back through the years,
Would you stop the girl to tell her why?
As she walks past down the aisle,
What could have been what should have been is now...
CH

M8 There’s the boy so in love with you.
He promised the earth but you just got the moon.
You would have danced but now just hum the tune.
Now just hum the tune

V3 So you tell the kids that life’s too short;
Don’t let the moment pass you by.
But when the grand children come along,
You wear a smile for this has been your life

CH You’ve waited in the wings, you were never for the stage
Not the model housewife on the magazine’s front page
Never knew your life would grow better day by day
Waiting in the Wings
Waiting in the wings, you were never for the stage
Not the model housewife on the magazine’s front page
Never knew your life would grow better day by day
Waiting in the Wings
