Shadows on the Sand

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

There were shadows on the sand closely mingled,
Just two lovers by a moonlit sea,
While I watched I thought of you and I tingled,
For they kissed the way you did with me.

Then the shadows on the sand came much nearer,
And the moon was like a spotlight then,
There was one familiar face showing clearer,
It was you, I couldn't look again.

I felt so sad, there you were with someone new,
I felt so glad, when I found it wasn't true.
For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And I looked around me with a start,

When the pounding of my heart made me wake up.
From a dream that nearly broke my heart.
