Shadow Dream Song Lyrics
I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening
In the evening
Between the princess and the prince
Oh yeah
I can't be bothered now
Cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was that song she sang
In the morning
About the princess and the prince
Yeah, yeah
It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
She s a laughing dapple shadow
Yes, she's a laughing dapple shadow
In my mind
Mmm hmmmmm yeah
If I could hear her voice
If I could see her face
If I could wish and be most any place
Be where I saw her last
On that evening past
With the princess and the prince
Yeah
The princess and the prince
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening
In the evening
Between the princess and the prince
Oh yeah
Cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was that song she sang
In the morning
About the princess and the prince
Yeah, yeah
She has about her in the day
She s a laughing dapple shadow
Yes, she's a laughing dapple shadow
In my mind
Mmm hmmmmm yeah
If I could see her face
If I could wish and be most any place
Be where I saw her last
On that evening past
With the princess and the prince
Yeah

Although this song is listed under Cher it was actually written and performed by Jackson Browne. When Cher and Gregg Allman release their joint album, "Two the Hard Way", this song was performed as a solo performance by Gregg. Understanding the relationship between Cher and Gregg leads to a better understanding of the lyrics and why Allman performed it as a solo.
