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 a love I strangled, Pulsing heart I thought was gone;
Gives no peace, Will not cease, Prowling 'round till dawn.
Ghost of yesterday, Every night you're here;
Whispering a-way, "might have been, might have been, Oh my dear."
foolish heart must pay, Ghost of yesterday!
