Jimmy was a shadow the youngest of three boys
How he longed to feel the light
Jimmy's older brothers sure could make some noise
So he became the quiet typeBut deep inside he had some powerful dreams
He'd think about them then he'd smileAnd he was gone, gone to somewhere far beyond
Where he was strong, strong, shining in the sun
They say that someday the meekest heart will sing
There was Jimmy waiting in the wingsSusie was a waitress morning, noon and night
But she never did complain
Jimmy'd stop for lunch there at least a thousand times
But one Monday something changedShe leaned across him with some chocolate pie
Then he looked into her eyesAnd he was gone, gone to somewhere far beyond
His heart beat strong, strong, he knew she was the one
They say that someday the meekest heart will sing
Love found Jimmy waiting in the wingsAnd when he held her for the very first time
He found the one thing he'd been missing all his lifeAnd they were gone, gone, to somewhere far beyond
