Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- 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
Chorus
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
Sung here by Fred Feild:
