[Intro]
Am G Am F E7
Am G
Look towards the future
F Em
While I look towards the past
Dm G C Bm7 E7
And remember that's our lonely time
Am G
Soon you'll be someone
F Em
That I once was
Dm G C Bm7 E7
And something that left behind
Am G
I grew without you
F Em
But you will grow for me
Dm G C Bm7 E7
For you and I are one and the same
Am G F Em
And your love will grow throughout me
Dm G C E7
When you need me just call my name
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m E A7
I'm standing in the shadow of time
D B7 E E7
Not growin' older because I'm preoccupied
A F#7 Bm
I'm standing on the shadow of time
D A F#m E pause Am G Am F E7
Knowin' if I wait you will be mine
Am G
Now I must leave you
F Em
I swear I'll return
Dm G C Bm7 E7
For nothing can keep me away
Am G F Em
From the sweet smile of your brown eyes
Dm G C E7
Your light it shall show me the way
[Chorus]
A E/G# F#m E A7
I'm standing in the shadow of time
D B7 E E7
Not growin' older because I'm preoccupied
A F#7 Bm
I'm standing on the shadow of time
D A F#m E pause Am G Am F E7
Knowin' if I wait you will be mine
D A F#m Adim
Knowin' if I wait you will
D A
Knowin' if I wait you will
Bm E
Knowin' if I wait you will be mine
[Outro]
Am G Am F E7 Am
