SHADOW WALTZ
(Dubin, Warren)

In 1933 Bing Crosby, Rudy Vallee and Guy Lombardo all recorded "Shadow Waltz" from the movie Gold Diggers of 1932. Only Bing's version reached No. 1, where it stayed for two weeks.

In the shadows let me come and sing
To you.
Let me dream a song that I can bring
To you.
Take me in your arms and let me cling
To you.
Let me linger long.
Let me live my song.
In the winter let me bring the spring
To you.
Let me feel that I mean everything
To you.
Love's old song will be new.
In the shadows when I come and sing
To you.

Shadows on the wall
I can see them fall
Here and there
Everywhere.
Silhouettes in blue
Dancing in the dew
Here am I.
Where are you?

(Bing whistles)

In the winter let me bring the spring
To you.
Let me feel that I mean everything
To you.
Love's old song will be new.
In the shadows when I come and sing
To you, dear.
In the shadows when I come and sing
To you.
