Lying here beside you in the shadows    With your body close to mine   I can't help but wish that I could have you    Here beside me all the time   Knowing that I cannot keep you    From your going when the day is done   Makes me wish that I was tall enough    To reach the sky and stop the sun.      But I can see the evening shadows    Slipping silent cross the floor   And I curse the day for coming to an end   You'll fix your face, comb your hair    And leave my arms once more   But when tomorrow comes    We'll watch the evening shadows fall again.      When we're here together    I don't question why you came or why you go   I'm sure you have your reasons    But your being here is all I have to know   Knowing when you come to me    There's nothing I can do to make you stay   Just like all the other times    You'll leave me at the ending of the day.      But I can see the evening shadows    Slipping silent cross the floor   And I curse the day for coming to an end   You'll fix your face, comb your hair    And leave my arms once more   But when tomorrow comes    We'll watch the evening shadows fall again...
