Ruth Desjardins Cautious shadows
Dreaming all alone
Forever will be their fate
Cautious shadows wait
Wanting love
Needing love
Missing love
Cautious shadows smile
Hiding lonely tears and sadness all of the time
Looking happy all the while.
So afraid.
So in love
Dreaming dreams
Dreams of love
Say it now
Say you care –
Too afraid
Shadows don’t dare.
Cautious shadows wanting love
Dreaming dreams so rare
never show they care
Never learn of joy but spend all of their lives
In lonely castles in the air
Cautiously they walk alone and dream of happiness
Never reaching home
So afraid
So in love
Dreaming dreams
Dreams of love
Say it now
Say you care
Too afraid
Shadows never dare.
Lonliness is all they’ll know
Never trusting love
Cautious shadows lose their dreams.
But if dreams of joy
Are ever given a chance
They could learn what loving means.
Loving means you’re not alone.
Someone else is with you,
Aching for your love–your dream.
Give your love
Share your dream
Open up your heart
Tell her how you feel
Share your dream.
Make it real.
