Shadows On The Wall Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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 kissing 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 

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 heal the wound, yes, and I'm forever doomed 

To be haunted by the shadows on the wall
