When it thinks that I'm sleeping
My shadow..
Is actually keeping
Me
Wide awake.
I take my shadow by my hand and we dance to the music of Glenn Millers band and I think that it's grand when my shadow starts singing.
I feel like bringing a camera and flash..but sadly my shadow says that brings him out in a rash and he starts fading away.
It's a daydream they say and that shadows aren't real.
How do you feel about that?
My shadow bows with his hat in my hand..everything he does is so marvellously grand.
Of course he is real do you think I'm a fool dancing with nothing would be incredibly uncool.
My shadow and I will get by..we'll get older together and a girl we might meet..now wouldn't that be neat.
Then as my girl and I and two shadows walk by
Look me in the eye
And tell me again it's not real
