Ghost waltz

Once away, we had a chance to fly
No one took the step
So afraid, so content

Dance with me to this old melody
I'll pretend that summer has come
To my heart once again

Once were hopes, once were dreams
Now I live in my mind

So sing me a song
Of dreams long gone
Of memories fading
And ghosts of a long lost time

Far away, somewhere across the seas
Through our fallen skies
Was a hope, was a prayer

Tortured mind, a peace that you'll never know
Will you take me there
If I break down my walls, stop the fight

Once there were promises
Now there's ashes and dust

So sing me a song
Of dreams long gone
Of memories fading
And ghosts of a long lost time

Old spirits hold me tight
Old memories haunt me tonight
One day I'll fly away and leave this world behind

I have no hope for a tomorrow
I have been waiting for so long
And I'm swept up in a waltz of reminiscence
As I laugh and dance and sing my lonely song

So sing me a song
Of dreams long gone
Of memories fading
And ghosts of a long lost time
