We three, we're all alone
|
Living in a mem-o-ry
|
My echo, my shadow, and me
|
|
We three, we're not a crowd
|
We're not even company
|
My echo, my shadow, and me
|
|
What good is the moonlight
|
The silvery moonlight that shines above?
|
I walk with my shadow
|
I talk with my echo
|
But where is the one I love?
|
|
We three, we'll wait for you
|
Even till eter-ni-ty
|
My echo, my shadow, and me
|
|
SPOKEN: "We three we're all alone. Seems like we're livin' in a memory. That's my
|
echo my shadow and me. We three we ain't no crowd. Fact is we ain't even
|
company. That's my echo my shadow and me. You know I been wonderin'-what good is the
|
moonlight that silvery moonlight that shines way, way up above? Yeah, I walk with my
|
shadow, I talk with my echo, but where is that gal that I love?"
|
|
We three, we'll wait for you
|
Even till eter-ni-ty
|
My echo, my shadow, and me
|
