Shadow of a Doubt

Story Behind The Song

I met lyricist Howard Wand through an AOL songwriter's group. He had written some good country songs and I asked him for the lyrics for a dance rock song and this is what he came up with. I asked Dave Holodnak of Connecticut to record the song for me. Dave's band had opened up for the Olympics in Los Angeles in the 1980's.

Lyrics

Shadow of a Doubt

(Verse 1)
We fought about the party,
Where you danced with him too long.
You said you were just flirting,
And I couldn't be more wrong.

Maybe it just looked bad,
but the evidence was there.
When I saw the way your eyes met his,
I knew you didn't care...

(Chorus)
It's beyond a ...
Shadow of a doubt (background singers) Circumstantial evidence;
What you're telling me (Beyond a shadow of a doubt).
That's what it's all about. (Circumstantial evidence)
Beyond a Shadow of a doubt. (Singer and Background)

Instrumental Interlude

(Verse 2)
You said he's nothing special,
But your face reads like a book.
Don't think your story's better,
Than the way it really looks.

Maybe it just looked bad,
But the evidence was there.
When I saw the way your eyes met his,
I knew you didn't care...

(Chorus)
It's beyond a ...
Shadow of a doubt (background singers) Circumstantial evidence;
What you're telling me (Beyond a shadow of a doubt).
That's what it's all about. (Circumstantial evidence)
Beyond a Shadow of a doubt. (Singer and Background)

Bridge
I try to put my thoughts aside,
'Cause I know life must go on,
but something deep inside me,
Knows there's something' wrong...

musical break

(Bridge 3)

I'm thinking that it's over, and of leaving you behind.
But If that's not what you want to hear,
Tell me something to change my mind.

(Chorus & Out)
(Chorus)
It's beyond a ...
Shadow of a doubt (background singers) Circumstantial evidence;
What you're telling me (Beyond a shadow of a doubt).
That's what it's all about. (Circumstantial evidence)
Beyond a Shadow of a doubt. (Singer and Background)
