When he lays you down
In the honeymoon suite
Champagne on your lips
And your stockings at your feet
I’ll be on your mind
I know, ‘cause baby...you’ll be on mine
 
And some things
Some things should last forever
And we should
We should have stayed together
But you walk with me
Yes you walk with me
Shadow

Walking down the aisle
As all your bridesmaids weep
I’ll be in my room
It’s such a bitter thing I reap
You belong to that man               
But he can never love you
Like I can

And some things
Some things should last forever
And we should
We should have stayed together
But you walk with me (Shadow) 
Yes you walk with me (Shadow) 
Ooh, you walk with me
Your Shadow, she walks with me

On a day in July
You wore the prettiest dress
You said, “I’d get lost with you anywhere” 
That day was the best
         Ooh, I treasure mem’ries like that          
When I lost you, honey
I lost my better half

And some things
Some things should last forever
And we should
We should have stayed together
