As recorded by AMBROSE & HIS CONCERT ORCH.,
with vocal by JACK COOPER, July 4th 1935, Embassy Club, London:

Chasing shadows
Chasing love dreams in vain
While my heart keeps on singing
Just a lonely refrain
..
Chasing shadows
All is cloudy above
Like a shadow I'm drifting
Hoping I'll find my love, find my love

Who knows someday someone may come along
And change my lonely song to happiness
Until the darkness fades into the dawn
I'll just go on, I guess

Chasing shadows
Just a dreamer am I
Hoping I'll find a rainbow
When the shadows roll by
