Verse:

Here we go again just reminiscing,

Dreaming of yesterday, And the joys we're missing.

 

Chorus:

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 is the one I love?

We Three, we'll wait for you, Even 'till eternity,

My echo, my shadow and me.
