I threw out the photographs like yesterdays flowersI try to erase the past but it won't go awayAnd those were the curtains that you had madeOne thing's for certain, the ghost of you staysI painted the second room and cleared out the basementAnd smelled some of your perfume on a scarf that you madeThe Salvation Army collected your thingsI gave them the jewelry, all the bracelets and ringsYour clothes in black bin bags, I gave them awayI try to move on but the ghost of you staysThe ghost of you staysThe ghost of you staysI threw out the photographs like yesterdays flowersI try to erase the past but it won't go awayI wake in the morning and try to be braveBut it's hard to move on when the ghost of you stays(Oh ho ho, hey hey heyOh ho ho, hey hey heyOh ho ho, hey hey hey)It's hard to move on when the ghost of you staysThe ghost of you staysThe ghost of you stays
