Ghost of a Chance

by Jennifer Pitcock

Verse One:
I watched you silently for years,
I was always only just a friend.
Years went by--my heart was all that knew,
I thought our days on Earth would never end.
But your final day arrived too soon,
And now my chance is gone--

Chorus:
I would give anything for a ghost of a chance,
I'd give my life, my Love, for one second glance.
Give me hope for this romance,
Oh, I would die for a ghost of a chance.

Verse two:
I sit alone remembering your face.
You brightened up my days with your smile.
Now you're gone--a part of me has died,
I'll never get the chance to tell you why--
Why I hid my love from you,
And why I loved you so--

(Chorus)

Spoken:
I see your face in the shadows...I know you're there--I feel you even now. I hear your whispers on the breeze, but I can't hear your words. I know you're with me, I know you miss me, I know you loved me and knew that I loved you. I would give anything to see you again--anything at all. That's why you see me bleeding now--that's why you see me dying now. You know I couldn't give you up, you know I couldn't let you leave me here alone. That's why I decided that if you won't come to me...

...I'll come to you.

Second Chorus:
I would give anything for a ghost of a chance,
I'd give my life, my Love, for one second glance.
Now there's hope for this romance--
Even if it's just a ghost of a chance.
