We three, we're all alone
Living in a mem-o-ry
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 eter-ni-ty
My echo, my shadow, and me

SPOKEN: "We three we're all
alone. Seems like we're livin' 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 eter-ni-ty
My echo,
my shadow, and me
