A small tribute in remembrance of my past self and of all the times I wish that courage had prevailed.
Lyrics
Where Have I Been (Hiding All My Life)
V1.
I can see you in the corner of the shadows
I’ve a good view from my high stool at the bar
Your friends got up and left you for the dance-floor
My eyes drew to you like a shooting star
V2.
Our eyes lock as you turn and catch me staring
Your head turns back but leaves me with a smile
I can tell its time to ask myself a question
It’s a question that’s been waiting for a while
Chorus:
‘Where have I been hiding all my life?’
I need to ask, coz darlin’ you’re my rose
I time to say how beautiful you are to me?
I want you babe and I don’t care if it shows
If words can help to make you realise it
Then I will climb and shout from mountain high
I will praise you ‘til you ask yourself – me, oh my
‘Where have I been hiding all my life?’
V3.
A friend returns and tries her best to coax you
But you won’t dance and I know the reason why
Coz soon as she’s gone you lift your head up shyly
Well lucky me, you want to catch my eye
V4.
I can’t help myself; I stand up and walk over
To my surprise you don’t turn your eyes away
You brush your hair from your face and smile up sweetly
And like a thief you steal my heart away
Chorus:
‘Where have I been hiding all my life?’
I need to ask, coz darlin’ you’re my rose
I time to say how beautiful you are to me?
I want you babe and I don’t care if it shows
If words can help to make you realise it
Then I will climb and shout from mountain high
I will praise you ‘til you ask yourself – me, oh my
‘Where have I been hiding all my life?
‘Where have I been hiding all my life?
