Me and My Shadow Lyrics
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue
Sweethearts having fun
Pass me by one by one
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
With only...
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue
When the sun sets on the far horizon
And the parlour lamps begin to glow
Jim and Jack and John
Put their slippers on
They're all set but we're still on the go
So lonely...
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when I go out at night with my old pal
We never fight about any gal
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock for nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue
