ethel waters - shadows on the swanee lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
shadows on the swanee
in the evenin’ by the moonlight, lovers everywhere
how i wish that i were there
among those shadows on the swanee
just to sing a southern ballad, underneath the southern sky
as i did in days gone by

[verse 2]
why did i wander so far away
from all my sweethearts seen
never thought that i’d be lonesome
but now i know just what it means

[bridge]
longing, how i’m longing
to be walkin’ with my sweetie
then there’d be two more
shadows on the swanee shore

[verse 3]
why ain’t i sleeping? all my thoughts are leaping
there’s a craving deep in me
feel so foresaken, i just lie awake and
through a sleepless night i see
shadows on that swanee
[interlude]
getting back to some more shadows on that swanee

[instrumental bridge]

[bridge]
longing, how i’m longing
to be walkin’ with my sweetie
then there’d be two more
shadows on that swanee shore

[outro]
mmm+bop, mmm+bop, mmm+bop, mmm+bop, mmm
