A                      G          D  
I throw a penny in the river each mornin' 
   G                                        D 
At twilight I go outside and find the first star 
    A                G          D 
I'm down on my knees most every evenin' 
        G                              A 
Praying I'll find a way back into your heart 
 
Chorus: 
    D           D/C#        D/B           D/A          G               D    A  
I'm waiting and wishing for one chance to hold you the same way I used to 
    D           D/C#        D/B          D/A          G                           A 
I'm waiting and wishing for one night of moonlight to bring back the love we once knew 
    G           A          D          G                 D           A           D   
But waiting and wishing is just crazy thinking when I'm waiting and wishing for you 
 
  
 
I'm just a shadow of what I was with you 
And I've come to know a shadow ain't much 
It's just an image of darkness the sunlight can't get to 
That fades in the nighttime when it ain't bright enough
