Lyrics

We three, we're all alone,

Living in a memory

My echo, my shadow and me.

We three, we're not a crowd,

We're not even company

My echo, my shadow, and me.

What good is the moonlight,

The silvery moonlight

That shines above.

I walk with my shadow,

I talk with my echo,

But where's the one I love?

We three, we'll wait for you,

Even till eternity

My echo, my shadow and me.

~ SOLO ~

We three, we're all alone,

Living in a memory

My echo, my shadow and me.

What good is the moonlight,

The silvery moonlight

That shines above.

I walk with my shadow,

I talk with my echo,

But where's the one I love?

We three, we'll wait for you,

Even till eternity

My echo, (echo) my shadow and me.

We'll be here waiting

My echo, my shadow, and me
