Lyrics
In the night though we’re apart
There’s a ghost of you within my haunted heart
Ghost of you my lost romance
Lips that laugh, eyes that dance
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
Time rolls on trying in vain to cure me
You are gone but you remain to lure me
You’re there in the dark and I call
You’re there but you’re not there at all
Oh, what will I do without you, without you
In the night, though we’re apart
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
