Billie Holiday
Ghost of Yesterday
[Verse 1]
Ghost of yesterday
Stalking 'round my room
All night long you stay
Walk around in profound gloom
[Verse 2]
When the darkness falls
When I've gone to bed
Weirdly come your calls
Mournfully, scornfully dead
[Bridge]
Folly of a love I've strangled
Pulsing heart I thought was gone
Give no peace, will not cease
Prowling 'round 'til dawn
[Verse 3]
Ghost of yesterday
Every night you're here
Whispering away
"Might have been, might have been, oh, my dear"
Foolish heart must pay, ghost of yesterday
[Verse 4]
Ghost of yesterday
Every night you're here
Whispering away
"Might have been, might have been, oh, my dear"
Foolish heart must pay, ghost of yesterday
[Outro]
Ghost of yesterday
