Only Your Shadow

# **ONLY YOUR SHADOW** --- The jukebox softly played our song, while you were dancing all night long. I watched you smile beneath the light, but your heart was never mine. --- Your red dress shined beneath the moon, I prayed you'd turn around so soon. You never saw the tears I hid, behind a smile I couldn't keep. --- Every Saturday the same, I'd call your softly whispered name. You'd leave with someone by your side, while I walked home alone each night. --- The old café still knows my face, your empty chair remains in place. Time keeps moving without regret, but I just can't forget. --- Only your shadow, still walks beside me. Only your memory, still keeps me alive. You loved another, I loved only you. Now every heartbeat still cries for you. --- --- Summer nights became so cold, even before we both grew old. Your laughter echoed through the air, but never belonged to me. --- The streetlights flicker one by one, just like dreams that come undone. I still wear my Sunday shoes, waiting for impossible news. --- My leather jacket knows the rain, it carries every drop of pain. Your perfume vanished years ago, yet somehow never lets me go. --- The records keep on spinning slow, singing stories that we know. Love can bloom for just one heart, while the other falls apart. --- Only your shadow, still walks beside me. Only your memory, still keeps me alive. You loved another, I loved only you. Now every heartbeat still cries for you. --- --- If tomorrow brings your smile, I'll wait another thousand miles. Some dreams never fade away, even after yesterday. --- Now the jukebox has gone still, but I remember every thrill. If love was only meant for two, mine will always belong to you. --- Only your shadow, still walks beside me. Only your memory, still keeps me alive. If love remembers, when people don't, I'll keep believing until I'm gone. Only your shadow... Only your name... Forever echoes... Inside my heart... ---
