Chasing Shadows

The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra

by Benny Davis (w) and Abner Silver (m) (1935)



Life without a romance is a life that's sad

I've never had a love of my own

Every day is just another day to me

Why must I be alone



Chasing shadows

Chasing love dreams in vain

While my heart keeps on singing

Just a lonely refrain



Chasing shadows

All is cloudy above

Like a shadow I'm drifting,

Hoping I'll find my love, find my love



Who knows some day someone may come along

And change my lonely song to happiness

Unitl the darkness fades into the dawn

I'll just go on, I guess



Chasing shadows,

Just a dreamer am I

Hoping I'll find a rainbow

When the shadows roll by



Walking 'round in circles. don't know where I am

Or who I am, My mind's in a daze

Nothing happens just another day is gone

Must I go on always
