| Shades of night are falling and I’m lonely
|
| Standing on the corner feeling blue
|
| Sweethearts out for fun
|
| Pass me one by one
|
| Guess I’ll wind up like I always do
|
| With only
|
| Me and my shadow
|
| Strolling down the avenue
|
| Me and my shadow
|
| Not a soul to tell our troubles to
|
| And when it’s twelve o’clock
|
| We climb the stair
|
| We never knock
|
| For nobody’s there
|
| Just me and my shadow
|
| All alone and feeling blue
|
| When the sun sets on the far horizon
|
| And the parlor lamps begin to glow
|
| Jim and Jack and John
|
| Put their slippers on
|
| They’re all set but we’restill 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 it’s twelve o’clock
|
| We climb the stair
|
| We never knock
|
| For nobody’s there
|
| Just me and my shadow
|
| All alone and feeling blue |
