Come on baby, swing that dress a little closer to me       
Don’t you tease me, not this time         
I just wanna hold you in my arms tonight        
Hold you in my arms tonight          

The shadows danced beneath the yellow light of stars and street lamps     
We were laughing in the rain          
I just wanna feel your hand in mine again        
Feel your hand in mine again          

I can’t love a ghost and I can’t hold you when you’re gone       
I won’t wait forever babe, I’ve waited all along       
All along            

All these miles and all the weight of all the world upon me      
Your voice is breaking on the line         
Almost right and almost time, I’ve almost found a way to       
Hold you in my arms tonight          
Hold you in my arms tonight          

I can’t love a ghost and I can’t hold a missing man        
I won’t wait forever, but I’ll wait long as I can         
As I can

If you are a ghost then you will haunt me til I die       
I won’t wait forever, but I promise you I’ll try.
