Me and My Shadow Elkie Brooks

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're still on the go

So lonely
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Me and my shadow
