SHADOWS ON THE SAND
Will Grosz (m) Stanley Adams (l)

as rec by Frank Sinatra w Tommy Dorsey & his Orch   
Sep 17th 1940 New York


There were shadows on the sand, closely mingled,
Just two lovers by a moonlit sea.
While I watched I thought of you and I tingled,
For they kissed the way you did with me!

Then the shadows on the sand came much nearer,
And the moon was like a spotlight; then
There was one familiar face showning clearer,
It was you, I couldn't look again!

I felt so sad,
There you were with someone new;
I felt so glad
When I found it wasn't true!

For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And I looked around me with a start,
When the pounding of my heart made me wake up
>From a dream that nearly broke my heart!

I felt so sad,
There you were with someone new;
I felt so glad
When I found it wasn't true!

For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And I looked around me with a start,
When the pounding of my heart made me wake up
>From a dream that nearly broke my heart!
