Margriet Eshuijs - Orchids Have To Grow In The Dark

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 oeh......it takes time
