Ghost of Love

Ghost of Love
.
Drifting through these summer days
Bathed in warmth and misty haze
Chilling in these lazy ways with you
I can hear a gentle sound
As the wind blows all around
While I lay here on the ground with you
.
And like the breeze, it’s me she frees
Without a word she calls my name
She lives in me, she haunts my dreams
The ghost of love, she's here with me again
.
Your heart is beating next to mine
In a melancholic rhyme
As I while away the time with you
Angel sent from up above
My heavenly turtle dove
Am I in forbidden love with you?
.
And like the breeze, it’s me she frees
Without a word she calls my name
She lives in me, she haunts my dreams
The ghost of love, she's here with me again
.
Why is it that I am not in heaven? 
Are you really living in my world?
.
As I stare into my mind
Hoping that it’s you I find
And pictures of a happy time with you
Is this the way it has to be
Living with a memory
Are the ghosts of love now me and you?
.
Oh like the breeze, it’s me she frees
Without a word she calls my name
She lives in me, she haunts my dreams
The ghost of love, she's here with me again
