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
