Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The misery I know Like a friend that won't let go Is creeping up on me now once again So I sing this song tonight To the ghost that will not die And somehow it seems to haunt me till the end Do you feel the same For what was remained Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again Do you ever cry for the ghost of days gone by I remember summer days We were young and unafraid With innocence we'd glide beneath the stars It seems so long ago Beyond the life that I now know Before the years would have their way and break my heart Do you feel the same For what was remained Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again Do you ever cry for the ghost of days gone by And I know it's drawing closer With each day I feel the end I, don't wanna die Don't wanna die, don't wanna die I don't wanna die Do you feel the same For what was remained Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again Do you ever cry for the days gone by Do they haunt you like a ghost until the end Haunt you till the end, until the end Until the end, until the end
