Shadows* from Joe's Beginning by Gypsy George & the Open Road Love Affair

Shadows

First time I laid my eyes on you,
you were so beautiful
wearing the colors of a sunny day.

First time I ever spoke to you,
you were so meaningful
just like the thunder of a rainy day.

First time I ever thought of you,
you were so wonderful
just like the wonder of a starry night.

And I believed in you I, yes! I believed in you
just like my eyes believe in light.

But, now I find I’ve got to get you out of my mind
I’ve got to let you stay behind,
where you belong,
In the shadows of a memory.

First time I made love with you,
I was so innocent
I wanted to change everything in sight.

And I did everything.
I gave my everything,
for the chance to hold you tight.

And I believed in you, yes! I believed in you
just like my eyes believe in light.

But, now I find I’ve got to get you out of my mind
I’ve got to let you stay behind,
where you belong
In the shadows of a memory.
