The Ghost Of You

I threw out the photographs like yesterdays flowers
I try to erase the past but it won't go away

And those were the curtains that you had made
One thing's for certain, the ghost of you stays

I painted the second room and cleared out the basement
And smelled some of your perfume on a scarf that you made

The Salvation Army collected your things
I gave them the jewelry, all the bracelets and rings
Your clothes in black bin bags, I gave them away
I try to move on but the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays

I threw out the photographs like yesterdays flowers
I try to erase the past but it won't go away

I wake in the morning and try to be brave
But it's hard to move on when the ghost of you stays

(Oh ho ho, hey hey hey
Oh ho ho, hey hey hey
Oh ho ho, hey hey hey)

It's hard to move on when the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
