[Trombone-l] Lyrics to Ghost

[Charlesworth]

Lyrics by Bing Crosby and Ned Washington
(from the New Real Book Volume 3)

I need your love so badly.  I love you, oh, so madly.
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.

I thought at last I'd found you, but other loves surround you.
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.

If you'd surrender, just for a tender kiss or two,
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you,
and I'd be true.

But what's the good of scheming.  I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.

Alan Charlesworth.
