The Shangri-Las - Dressed In Black

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 still 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 too 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 climb the stairs
I shut the door
I turn the lock
Alone, once more
And no one can hear me cry
No one
