In the night,

though we're apart

there's a ghost of you

within my haunted heart . . .



Ghost of you,

my last romance,

lips that laughed,

eyes that danced . . .



Haunted heart

won't let me be

dreams repeat a sweet

but lonely song to me . . .



Dreams are dust,

it's you who must

belong to me . . .

and thrill my haunted heart . . .



Be still, my haunted heart . . .







Dreams are dust,

it's you who must

belong to me . . .

and thrill my haunted heart . . .



Be still, my haunted heart . . .
