[Verse 1]
Shadows, just can't get out of these shadows
Since my baby said goodbye
I used to walk alone in the sunlight
So happy then was I

[Verse 2]
But one day, my sweet baby up and left me
I'll never know the reason why
Now there's shadows everywhere I go
The sunshine has passed me by

[Verse 3]
Now I sing a blues song with tears in my eyes
No one to care for me
I used to sing a glad song still I wonder why
Our love could never be

[Verse 1]
Shadows, just can't get out of these shadows
Sincе my baby said goodbye
I used to walk alone in thе sunlight
So happy then was I

[Verse 2]
But one day, my sweet baby up and left me
I'll never know the reason why
Now there's shadows everywhere I go
The sunshine has passed me by
