Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, the song is one of the most well-known Motown tunes of the 1960s. A direct follow-up to the #1 hit "Reach Out I'll Be There" (even featuring a similar musical arrangement), "Standing in the Shadows of Love" reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.

From Wayne Agee
('58) of FL - 02/01/16 - "Potato
Chips":
Bring Potato Chips A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three
blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at
some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. His smile was so pretty that the
boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he
smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon
eating and smiling, but they never said a word. But before his mother could
respond, he added, “You know what? He’s got the most beautiful smile
I’ve ever seen!” He replied, “I ate potato chips in the park with God.” However, before his son responded,
he added, “You know, he’s much younger than I expected.” Thank
you, Wayne!

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-shredded-pork/ - Easy Shredded Pork - "This is an excellent dish for backyard parties, Super Bowl (or any sports) parties and get-togethers. Serve with rolls or French or Italian bread. Goes great with corn on the cob."

Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I? So don't you leave me standin' in the shadow of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love Just tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come All alone I'll desperately be With misery my only company Come today, in fact come tomorrow Sorrow, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow Don't your conscience bother you How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you Now hold a minute Gave you all the love I had, didn't I? When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I? (Standing in the shadows of love Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come) I've tried not to cry out loud No gal you ain't gonna help me now What did I do to cause all this grief Now what'd I say to make you want to leave Now wait a minute I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I? Now didn't I always treat you good, didn't I? I'm Standing in the shadows of love I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come Standing in the shadows of...
