Tony Cliff - Waiting in the Wings Lyrics

Best friends you can count on your fingers
We'd played together since age three
A couple years back well I noticed
The beautiful woman you'd grown up to be
You told me you're marrying someone else
So I never told you how I felt

I'll always be your guardian angel
If you ever need a shoulder to cling to
I used to make you laugh and sing
Now I wanna' buy you that diamond ring
Babe, I'm gonna wait in the wings
Yes, I'm waiting in the wings

Your wedding day brought memories
The rope swing, we jumped in the river
Cool nights we'd hug by a bonfire
Warming together as we shivered
It'll be hard for me to find someone new
So I hope this guy really loves you

I'll always be your guardian angel
If you ever need a shoulder to cling to
I used to make you laugh and sing
Now I wanna' buy you that diamond ring
Babe, I'm gonna wait in the wings
Yes, I'm waiting in the wings

I think about what might have been
If you knew we were more than friends
Someday I'll share this secret in my heart
If he don't treat you right and it all falls apart

I'll always be your guardian angel
If you ever need a shoulder to cling to
I used to make you laugh and sing
Now I wanna' buy you that diamond ring
Babe, I'm gonna wait in the wings
Yes, I'm waiting in the wings
