I'm sad the long day through
My life is empty it seems
Till nighttime brings me you
And you knock on the door of my dreams

In shadow land I feel your welcome hand
In dreamy shadow land
You're by my side
I feel the thrill of your caresses
In the still of eventide
I fear the dawn for when it comes you're gone
The morning steals away the joys I planned
I always thought the nights were much too short
For us in shadow land

In shadow land I feel your welcome hand
In dreamy shadow land
You're by my side
I feel the thrill of your caresses
In the still of eventide
I fear the dawn for when it comes you're gone
The morning steals away the joys I planned
I always thought the nights were much too short
For us in shadow land

When night begins to spin
Her web of shadowy beams
My heart cries out "Come in"
When you knock on the door of my dreams
In shadow land
