Your Ghost Still Haunts Me

Your Ghost Still Haunts Me
 
Haunted are my once pleasant dreams
I have only your memory or so it seems
 
  I still have a photograph of you in a frame
Without out you my life just won’t be the same
 
Tell me why did you have to so soon depart
Your absence pulls on the strings of my heart
 
Death has come and stole you away from me
I scattered your loving ashes alongside the sea
 
And now my life is haunted by your ghost
Thinking of all the things that meant the most
 
My empty heart is haunted from the break of day
How I wish you and your loving heart had stayed
 
Your spirit inhabits my now vacant room
Smell of the summer roses in bloom
 
Your spirit still echoes in these hallowed halls
Deep into the night your lonely voice calls
 
In the midnight hour your restless spirit calls
The autumn leaves have just begun to fall
 
Soon the summer roses will be buried by snow
Everlasting love I have for you only my heart knows
 
This ever biting loneliness won’t leave me alone
Find myself still waiting for your call on the telephone
 
There’s just so much that time cannot erase
Close my eyes I can still see the splendor of your face
 
They say that time will heal all wounds
Well I can only pray that time is coming soon
 
My dreams were full of hope when you were still alive
Like a flower consumed by snow don’t know how I will survive
 
I pray nightly for your restless spirit to be at eternal rest
And your ever loving memory I shall never forget
