Shadows In The Moonlight 1935

Tragedy came to me
just a little while ago.
Now it seems all my dreams
are shattered with a single blow.

Here am I alone
now that love has flown
and it breaks my heart to see,
ev'ry night two shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.
Arm in arm they go
friends I used to know
wond'ring if they talk of me.
Ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
bring to me a memory.
Now let me tell you
how it really started
I had two friends
and thought the world of both,
they let me down
and left me broken hearted.
One was my pal,
one was my gal,
yet I must confess
I wish them happiness
though it brings me tears to see
ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.

Here am I alone
now that love has flown
and it breaks my heart to see,
ev'ry night two shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.
Arm in arm they go
friends I used to know
wond'ring if they talk of me.
Ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
bring to me a memory.
Now let me tell you
how it really started
I had two friends
and thought the world of both,
they let me down
and left me broken hearted.
One was my pal,
one was my gal,
yet I must confess
I wish them happiness
though it brings me tears to see
ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.

Day by day still I stray
all alone to lover's lane,
ev'ry night wrong or right
those shadows' neath the moon remain.

Here am I alone
now that love has flown
and it breaks my heart to see,
ev'ry night two shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.
Arm in arm they go
friends I used to know
wond'ring if they talk of me.
Ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
bring to me a memory.
Now let me tell you
how it really started
I had two friends
and thought the world of both,
they let me down
and left me broken hearted.
One was my pal,
one was my gal,
yet I must confess
I wish them happiness
though it brings me tears to see
ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.

Here am I alone
now that love has flown
and it breaks my heart to see,
ev'ry night two shadows

Ev'ry night those shadows

though it brings me tears to see
ev'ry night those shadows
in the moonlight
for once they belonged to me.
