Though the door was open wide not a sound came from inside 
So I looked in saw two shadows on the wall 
One was new and strange to me one my sweetheart dear to me 
How it hurt to see those shadows on the wall 
They were kissin' like true lovers always do 
Right then and there 
I knew that we were through 
So I turned and walked away broken hearted to this day 
All because of those two shadows on the wall [ fiddle - piano - guitar ] 
Not a tear came to my eyes 
I was hurt too much to cry 
By the faithful kiss of shadows on the wall 
Now I know the misery of living with the memory 
Of that night 
I saw those shadows on the wall 
If my heart could only fall for someone new 
But it's so great to take the chance that's true 
Nothing seems to heel the wound yes and 
I'm forever doomed 
To be haunted by the shadows on the wall
