Ghost Story

(Joe Allen)



I've seen how you tremble

Whenever he walks through your mind

Stirring up mem'ries that cloud up your eyes

Where the light of our love ought to shine.



I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad

He must have been going insane

Now I finally learned how to hold you together

When nobody mentions his name.



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams.

I know that he's called you and told you

That our love can't last

But don't you believe him 'cause honey, he's wrong

He's never been right in the past.



So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies

He just can't admit that you're free

And the next time he calls you just hand me the phone

And see if he says it to me.



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams.



He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams...
