SHADOWS ON THE WALL
(Lee Morse)

Lee Morse - 1928 (Re-recorded 1938)



In those dear old love days, each wintery night
We sat by the fireside, just like tonight
Now I know your heart longs
For the lights and gay throngs
Even though my heart grieves
I'll have memories

Oh, the shadows on the wall only help me to recall
Our life together, all kinds of weather
Like the passing of the years
All its fleeting smiles and tears
And though we've grown so far apart
I've always kept you in my heart
Just those old days recall
But leave the shadows on the wall

Oh, the shadows on the wall only help me to recall
Our life together, all kinds of weather
Like the passing of the years
All its fleeting smiles and tears
And though we've grown so far apart
Oh, I've always kept you in my heart
Just those old days recall
But leave the shadows on the wall
