A Ghost Of A Chance

Verse 1
You cast a long shadow
That I'm still standing in
Your leaving left me in the dark
On how to start again
And I just can't go forward
While your memory holds me back
Cause next to you nobody stands
A ghost of a chance

Verse 2
Now there's someone new who wants me
Who doesn't know that you exist
But her/his heart is sure to tell her soon
It isn't her I kiss
When she holds me she has no idea
Who she's up against
Cause next to you nobody stands
A ghost of a chance

Bridge
Someday I'll see someone
And you won't be standing there
A ghost of loving memory
For my heart to compare
But for now my heart is haunted
And I see you everywhere
Hear every word, feel every touch
Recall each night we shared

Verse 3
And it's a long shadow
That I'm still standing in
Where every ray of sunlight
That comes my way is dimmed
They say that it will take sometime
And I've got lots of that
Cause next to you nobody stands
A ghost of a chance
Next to you nobody stands
A ghost of a chance
