Matt Monro The Ghost Of Your Past Lyrics

You're living your life trying not to remember
That cigarette ash, that last dying ember
They only recall when the long shadows fall
The ghost of your love from the past

Maybe you're like me and hate to admit it
You tried a new life but find you don't fit it
You'll hide with a smile as you walk down the aisle
The ghost of your love from the past

You drink at a dive, take a long country drive
But you can't escape from your past
And just before dawn when you dread the new morn You have to see reason at last

You turn back for home you relive it all
And grope for a light in the cold empty hall
But as you climb the stair
Who is that standing there
It's the ghost of your love from the past

You turn back for home you relive it all
And grope for a light in the cold empty hall
But as you climb the stair
Who is that standing there
It's the ghost of your love from the past
