Me And My Shadow

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. --- Me and My Shadow - Peggy Lee
