Orchids Have To Grow In The Dark Lyrics

You're standing in the corner, not knowing what to do Staring at the prima donna, wishing so hard it was you And you wonder how to get there what's the secret in her eyes It takes time It's getting close to midnight, you feel the tension too Watching all those cruising slick guys but they don't come up to you And so you hide that great desire, that is burning deep inside It takes time It takes time to cross the border between a dream and what is real Like a flower you'll grow older and your beauty be revealed So don't you worry it will happen don't let it change the way you are Orchids have to grow in the dark Pretty people on the dance floor, excitement everywhere Is this what you really longed for, 'cause no one seems to know you're there They don't see how much you want to change the darkness for the light It takes time It takes time to cross the border between a dream and what is real Like a flower you'll grow older and your beauty be revealed So don't you worry it will happen don't let it change the way you are Orchids have to grow in the dark It takes time to cross that border oh I know just how you feel 'Cause I've been there, now that I'm older, I can say the dream gets real So don't you worry it will happen you will be that shining star Orchids have to grow in the dark But it takes time oh......it takes time
