Only a Shadow
A twinkle of stars
That's where you are
And only at night
Can I see your eyes
And since you've been gone
I've tried not to
Be so alone
I've made some new friends
Even date some now and then
But they're
Only a shadow
Only a shadow
Of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
So I'm in New York
Spending Christmas alone
The energy here's in the air
I thought I saw you walking by
Union Square
But it was
Only a shadow
Only a shadow the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm
Dreaming of
I'm high as a cloud
You know my book is finally
Coming out
It made me write all the time
Feeling your presence
Come through the lines
So I guess I can be proud
I guess I can say that
I made it somehow
They got my name up on a shelf
I guess I can say I made a name
For myself but it was
Only a shadow
Only a shadow of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
Only a shadow
Only a shadow of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
That's where you are
And only at night
Can I see your eyes
And since you've been gone
I've tried not to
Be so alone
I've made some new friends
Even date some now and then
But they're
Only a shadow
Only a shadow
Of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
So I'm in New York
Spending Christmas alone
The energy here's in the air
I thought I saw you walking by
Union Square
But it was
Only a shadow
Only a shadow the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm
Dreaming of
I'm high as a cloud
You know my book is finally
Coming out
It made me write all the time
Feeling your presence
Come through the lines
So I guess I can be proud
I guess I can say that
I made it somehow
They got my name up on a shelf
I guess I can say I made a name
For myself but it was
Only a shadow
Only a shadow of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
Only a shadow
Only a shadow of the one I love
Only a shadow
Of the one I'm dreaming of
