If only I could walk out in the sunshine and see the world a way my eyes should see

And if only I could hold a hand of someone who loves me

Without your shadow hanging over me

You turned my world into a shady garden you placed yourself between the sun and me

Oh if only I could feel the arms of someone who needs me

Without your shadow hanging over me

Without your shadow hanging over me I could be what I want to be

There's so many things these eyes of mine would love to see that's good for me

Without your shadow hanging over me without your shadow hanging over me
