Ghost of Yesterdays Songtext
von Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra

Ghost of yesterday
Stalkin′ '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 love I've strangled
Pulsing heart I thought was gone
Give no peace, will not cease
Prowling 'round ′til dawn


Ghost of yesterday
Every night you′re here
Whispering away
Might have been, might have been
Oh, my dear
Foolish heart must pay
Ghost of yesterday

Ghost of yesterday
Every night you're here
Whispering away
Might have been, might have been
Oh, my dear
Foolish heart must pay
Ghost of yesterday

Ghost of yesterday
