Dressed in Black - The Shangri-Las

Dressed in black

He walks alone, a shadow in the night

Each time he walks by my window

Can’t hold the tears from my eyes

We’re so much in love

Why can’t they realize

That every time he looks at me

I long to feel his lips on mine

I live on just the memory of him caressing me So soft, so warm

So soft, so warm

They said he was much to wild for me They said I didn’t know what I was getting myself into

They said a whole lot of things

But there are some things they could never understand

That a girl can tell by the way a boy holds her hand

Or maybe they thought we were too young to be in love this way

Well, I don’t care what people say

This girl’s love is getting stronger with each passing day

That every time he looks at me

I long to feel his lips on mine

I live on just the memory of him caressing me So soft, so warm

So soft, so warm

But now he’s gone

But now he’s gone

I climbed the stairs

I shut the door

I turned the lock

Alone once more

And no one can hear me cry

No one
