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.
