Lyrics
I have always enjoyed the song "Silhouettes" written by Bob Crewe and originally performed by
The Rays. There have been many covers by other artists such as The Diamonds, The Fleetwoods, The Lettermen, The Tokens, Cliff Richard & The Shadows, The Vogues & The Four Seasons.
It also featured in the opening section of the Broadway Production of "Jersey Boys".
This is my attempt at a cover of this song. Hope you enjoy it

I passed by your place
just the other night
Saw your shadow dance
in the hallway light
I thought I saw love
in the shape of two
But the shapes were lies
that I thought were you
Outlines on the shade,
told me I was wrong
Figures near the glass
lingered all night long
I thought I was through,
you were with someone new
But the truth came clear
when I talked to you
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Hi.. ohh.. woah.. woah
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Silhouettes.. (silhouettes)
Hi.. ohh.. ohh
Woahhh.. woah... woah... woahh—
Woahhh.. woah... woah... woahh—
I turned from your door
with a sinking heart
Thought I'd lost your love,
thought we'd drift apart
But you ran right out
with a crying face
Said the forms I saw
were a friend's embrace
Outlines on the shade,
made me lose my way
Thought you let me go,
thought you couldn’t stay
But the shade deceived,
now I do believe
That it’s still just us
in the love we weave
Silhouettes, no more
Just your love I’m sure
