We three, we're all alone
Living in a mem-o-ry
My echo, my shadow, and me
We three, we're not a crowd
We're not even company
My echo, my shadow, and me
What good is the moonlight
The silvery moonlight that shines above?
I walk with my shadow
I talk with my echo
But where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eter-ni-ty
My echo, my shadow, and me
SPOKEN: "We three we're all alone Seems like we're livin' in a memory That's my
echo my shadow and me We three we ain't no crowd Fact is we ain't even
company That's my echo my shadow and me You know I been wonderin'-what good is the
moonlight that silvery moonlight that shines way, way up above? Yeah, I walk with my
shadow, I talk with my echo, but where is that gal that I love?"
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eter-ni-ty
My echo, my shadow, and me
