Shadows have their secret lives.
There is always one for another.
There were two who'd be so right
if only one knew of the other.

Rain came down on the day they met.
She found a stranger standing beside her.
He was married to her oldest friend.
Silent heart beat inside her.

You live on a page of my life
Hidden deep between the lines.
Oh, to write this tale again.
Just a word or two somewhere,
Miracle here and there.
Love would win in the end,
If I could write this tale again.

She saw him as a family man
raising kids and loving their mother
so careful was her every word,
Wisely measuring smiling eyes.

He never spoke her name out loud,
never sent her flowers or letters.
Six dozen years her heart went unheard.
Secret longing so lovingly hidden.

You live on a page of my life
Hidden deep between the lines.
Oh, to write this tale again.
Just a word or two somewhere,
Miracle here and there.
Love would win in the end,
If I could write this tale again.

There are names the angels wish we'd never heard.
Faithful hearts would rather break than bend.
There are pages we would never turn
If we knew the way the story ends.

You live on a page of my life
Hidden deep between the lines.
Oh, to write this tale again.
Just a word or two somewhere,
Miracle here and there.
Love would win in the end,
If I could write this tale again.
