Lyrics :
On my own, there's no chaperone
But my heart still is mine for the keeping
Tracy, take a rest; you can pass this test
You can still dream your dream while you're sleeping
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
If it's fate, let it be
'Cause now I see
I can wait
Change takes time, it's a long hard climb
But I'll get to the top if I'm steady
And where love's concerned, well, I guess I've learned
Just to trust he'll be here when he's ready
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
I'll let fate set the day
It's okay
I can wait
Plant the tiniest seed down below
Tend it well, and stand back
And just watch it grow
Watch me grow
If I can just stay true
To the steps I've taken
It will all come through
Name the date, and say when
But 'til then
I can wait

The Accompanist has created a collection of Piano Accompaniments of Musical Theatre and Popular music songs.
These Broadway and West End accompaniments have been specifically performed to match the tempos of the original (cast) recordings where possible. These karaoke style tracks have been created to give the audition performer the sound of what is likely within an audition environment where often we are not faced with a full orchestra but simply a pianist. Therefore the songs can sound very different to the fully orchestrated version.
The tracks are designed to be used either in performance or as practice for auditions. You are more than welcome to use the track to create your own YouTube cover of the song. If you could put a link back to this video in your description that would be amazing of you. I'm creating a playlist on my channel page of covers using The Accompanist's tracks so let me know if you do a cover using it and I'll add it to this channel's covers playlist.
