Ghost Of Yesterday Lyrics - Billie Holiday

Irene Wilson / Arthur Herzog Jr. 

Ghost of yesterday 

Stalking 'round my room 

All night long you stay 

Walk around profound gloom 

When the darkness falls 

When I've gone to bed 

Weirdly come your calls 

Mournfully, scornfully dead

Folly of a love I strangled 

Pulsing heart I thought was gone 

Gives no peace 

Will not cease 

Prowling 'round till 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 

Yesterday
