Watching from the wings

I remember those nice words you used to say Then you'd wrap them up in paper and throw them all away Only you were subject to the thoughts and doubts you had But we all know that you're not bad. You would leave a friend some flowers when they were feeling blue And when they telephoned to thank you, you said it wasn't you You can hide and stand aside whilst others bathe in light But you just keep friends with night. So many people plagiarise, stealing truth and telling lies Others seem to close their eyes, but you're the one we recognise. You will never take the credit for all the things you've done And if you even get a mention then you'd just up and run It's all the rage to be on stage, you're chance to dance and sing But you'll be watching from the wings. So many people plagiarise, stealing truth and telling lies Others seem to close their eyes, but you're the one we recognise.
