When you're walking down the isle with your new love by your side
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
When you say your sacred vows I'll repeat them with you too
But I'll be standing in the shadows watching you.
I remember all the times you whispered you were mine
As I watch her take my place with you
When the rice begins to fly I throw a kiss as you go by
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you.

When her mother starts to cry I stand and watch my dreams all die
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you
When they give the brighter way then I know you're gone to stay
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you.
I remember all the times you whispered dear you're mine
As I watch her take my place with you
When the rice begins to fly I throw a kiss as you go by
I'll be standing in the shadows watching you...
