Waiting In The Wings - Steve Wariner

Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys

How he longed to feel the light

Jimmy’s older brothers sure could make some noise

So he became the quiet type

But deep inside he had some powerful dreams

He’d think about them then he’d smile

And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond

Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun

They say that someday the meekest heart will sing

There was jimmy waiting in the wings

Susie was a waitress morning noon and night

But she never did complain

Jimmy’d stopped for lunch there at least a thousand times

But one monday something changed

She leaned across him with some chocolate pie

Then he looked into her eyes

And he was gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond

His heart beat strong strong he knew she was the one

They say that someday the meekest heart will sing

Love found jimmy waiting in the wings

Bridge:

And when he held her for the very first time

He found the one thing he’d been missing all his life

And they were gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond

Their love was strong strong two hearts beat as one

He stood beside her and she put on his ring

And when she smiled how his heart did sing

They say that someday the meekest heart will sing

So remember if you’re waiting in the wings
