Ghost of Yesterday

Ghost of yesterday Stalking 'round my room All night long you stay Walk around profound gloom When the darkness falls When I've gone to bed Weirdly come your calls Mournfully, scornfully dead Folly of a love I strangled Pulsing heart I thought was gone Gives no peace Will not cease Prowling 'round till dawn 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 Yesterday --- Ghost of Yesterday - Nancy Wilson and The George Shearing Quintet
