HIS SHADOW
(Jerry Crutchfield / Buck Maxwell)


Bobby Vee - 1963



I'm kissing you, but you're not kissing me
You've got your lips pressed to his memory
I'm in your arms, but he's in your heart
Oh, why must I be followed by his shadow

Just when I feel that you've put out the flame
You start to cry at the sound of his name
He is to you all that you are to me
I'm lovin' in and livin' in his shadow

But I have faith that you're gonna be mine
I'll win your love, it's a matter of time
I'll make it last so that he'll never cast his shadow
His shadow on our love
