Appeal for help with song lyrics

For the last 10 years, my wife and I have visited day centres, nursing homes and care centres, with my sing-a-long with Syd programme (we are both over 80.) My sound equipment was made possible by a Help the Aged lottery grant and last year I was presented with a county award at the Shire Hall for my services.

My grandson gave me a computer on which I produce large print song sheets. I have also led the Christmas carol sing-a-long at a Ludlow school for the last eight years.

But now I'm hoping one of your readers can help me with the lyrics of a song, I have the music, the title of the song is My Shadow's Where My Sweetheart Used To Be. The Joe Loss Orchestra did a version and Sam Browne did a vocal of it.

I'm hoping to use it in a medley made up of, Me and My Shadow and Dancing With My Shadow.

To date my wife and I have, made more than two hundred visits to over sixties groups and the calls are still coming in.

Please look in your loft for any old 78s or sheet music.

Hope you can help.

Syd Pearce, Brimfield
