Ghost of Yesterday Songtext
von Carmen McRae

Ghost of yesterday
Stalking ′round my room
All night long you stay
Walk around in profound gloom

When the darkness falls
When I've gone to bed
Weirdly come your calls
Mournfully, scornfully dead


Folly of love I′ve strangled
Pulsing heart I thought was gone
Gives no peace, will not cease
Prowling 'round 'til 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
