Ghost of a Chance

Billie Holiday · Music for Torching [1955]

I need your love so badly

I love you, oh, so madly

But I don't stand

A ghost of a chance with you



I thought at last I'd found you

But other loves surround you

And I don't stand

A ghost of a chance with you



If you'd surrender

Just for a tender kiss or two

You might discover

That I'm the lover meant for you

And I'd be true



But what's the good of scheming

I know I must be dreaming

For I don't stand

A ghost of a chance with you



If you'd surrender

Just for a tender kiss or two

You might discover

That I'm the lover meant for you

And I'd be true



But what's the good of scheming

I know I must be dreaming

For I don't stand

A ghost of a chance

With you
