Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it's you

Somewhere in a corner
Nothing else to do
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it's you

In my dreams it seems that you're my own again
Then I wake and find that I'm alone again

Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it's you

They're playing a melody
We both loved to hear
As we danced 'neath
The moon's dreamy light

They're playing that melody, but, dear, you have gone
And here's all I'm doing tonight

(Instrumental Break)

In my dreams it seems that you're my own again
Then I wake and find that I'm alone again

Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it's you
