From table lamp spotlights
And quilts hung as curtains
To grade school productions
With clouds made of foam
She was daddy's dancer
Performing her solos
But she was never alone
He said, Baby wherever you go
I'll be waiting in the wings like I've always been
If you lose your balance or just need a friend
I'll be the one whispering you can do anything
I'll be waiting in the wings
The queen of the college
A crown with a tassel
A Uhaul carriage awaits on the drive
Drawn by a Mustang into her future
Now it's her turn to fly
He said, Remember it's never goodbye
I'll be waiting in the wings like I've always been
If you lose your balance or just need a friend
I'll be the one whispering you can do anything
I'll be waiting in the wings
They laid him to rest on Saturday morning
Losing him left a hole in her heart
But a voice deep inside said Baby don't worry
I've been here all along
He said, "Remember I'm not really gone
I'll be waiting in the wings like I've always been
If you lose your balance or just need a friend
I'll be the one whispering you can do anything
I'll be waiting in the wings
