It would take a month of sundays   To understand you now   Lord knows I'll make it one day   And I hope he tells me how   It seems impossible   But strangest thoughts come true   And a shadow of a doubt just crossed my mind   Kinda right on cue   Had a shadow of a doubt last night   When you walked into view   What could I do      Company convivial   The drink went to my head   Conversation trivial   Don't ask me what I said   Could it have been pure coincidence   The moisture in your eye   But the shadow of a doubt just crossed my mind   When you said Hi   And a shadow of a doubt remains   However hard I try   How hard I try      What's passed is history   I never wish to read   You're the very last thing I want   The very first thing I need   What kind of spirit   Made me feel that warm inside   When a shadow of a doubt appeared   To wash away my pride   And a shadow of a doubt was here   When you stood by my side   Right by my side      What's passed is history   I never wish to read   You're the very last thing I want   The first thing that I need   The nosey next door neighbours   Would have laughed if they could see   That mutual ecquaintance   Introducing you to me   Never dreamed that you'd be there   Or are you staying away   Yet that shadow of a doubt   Has grown much stronger night and day   And the shadow of a doubt   Won't let me go   What can I say   What can I say   (repeat)
