i never thought i d see the day

Sade

You shed a shadow on my life
shed a shadow on a love
took the shelter out of my life
took the shelter of a lie

i could see it in your restless eyes
the truth i was hiding
the truth you could not disguise

but i never thought i'd see the day
i knew i'd need a miracle to make you stay
i knew
i needed
a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day

you put a shadow on a love
took a shelter of a lie
took the shelter out of my life

i wish you could shelter me
shelter me now
i need a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day
