I throw a penny in the river each mornin'
At twilight, I go outside and find the first star
I'm down on my knees most every evenin'
Praying, I'll find a way back into your heart

I'm waiting and wishing for one chance
To hold you the same way I used to
I'm waiting and wishing for one night
Of moonlight to bring back the love we once knew

But waiting and wishing is just crazy thinking
When I'm waiting and wishing for you

I'm just a shadow of what I was with you
And I've come to know a shadow ain't much
It's just an image of darkness the sunlight can't get to
That fades in the nighttime when it ain't bright enough

I'm waiting and wishing for one chance
To hold you the same way I used to
I'm waiting and wishing for one night
Of moonlight to bring back the love we once knew

But waiting and wishing is just crazy thinking
When I'm waiting and wishing for you
Waiting and wishing is just crazy thinkin'
When I'm waiting and wishing for you
