As recorded by THE INK SPOTS:
We three, we're all alone
Living in a memory
My echo, my shadow and me
We three, we're not a crowd
We're not even company
My echo, my shadow and me
What good is the moonlight
The silvery moonlight that shines above
I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo
But where is the one I love
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eternity
My echo, my shadow and me
(SPOKEN:
We three, we're all alone
Seem like we're living in a memory
That's my echo, my shadow and me
We three, we ain't no crowd
Fact is we ain't even company
That's my echo, my shadow and me
You know I been wonderin'
What good is the moonlight, that silvery moonlight
That shines way, way up above
Yeah, I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo
But where is that gal that I love)
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eternity
My echo, my shadow and me
