If only I could walk out in the sunshine
And see the world a way my eyes should see
And if only I could hold a hand of someone who loves me
Without your shadow hanging over me

You turned my world into a shady garden
You placed yourself between the sun and me
Oh, if only I could feel the arms of someone who needs me
Without your shadow hanging over me

Without your shadow hanging over me
I could be what I want to be
There's so many things these eyes of mine
Would love to see that's good for me
Without your shadow hanging over me
Without your shadow hanging over me
