  • There's a ghost in my house
    The ghost of your memory
    The ghost of a love you took from me

    Where our love used to be
    Only shadows from the past I see
    Time can't seem to erase
    The vision of your smilin' face

    Though you found someone new
    I can't get over you
    There's a ghost in my house

    I can't hide (There's a ghost in my house)
    From the ghost of your love that's inside (There's a ghost in my house)
    It keeps on haunting me (There's a ghost in my house)
    Just keeps on reminding me (There's a ghost in my house)

    In my mind I know you're gone
    But my heart keeps holding on
    To the memories of those happy times
    To the love that once was mine

    For though we're far apart
    You're always in my heart
    There's a ghost in my house

    I can't hide (There's a ghost in my house)
    From the ghost of your love that's inside (There's a ghost in my house)
    You're still such a part of me (There's a ghost in my house)
    Still so deep in the heart of me (There's a ghost in my house)

    I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs (There's a ghost in my
    house)
    When I know there's no-one there (There's a ghost in my house)
    Everyday I love you more (There's a ghost in my house)
    So much more than the day before (There's a ghost in my house)

    Sittin' in my easy chair
    I feel your fingers runnin' through my hair
    Lookin' down in my coffee cup
    I think I see your face lookin' up

    All alone in my gloom
    Your voice echoes through the room
    There's a ghost in my house

    And I can't hide (There's a ghost in my house)
    From the ghost of your love that's inside (There's a ghost in my house)
    It keeps on haunting me (There's a ghost in my house)
    Just keeps on reminding me (There's a ghost in my house)

    I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs (There's a ghost in my
    house)
    When I know there's no-one there (There's a ghost in my house)
    You're still such a part of me (There's a ghost in my house)
    Still so deep in the heart of me (There's a ghost in my house)

    And I can't hide (There's a ghost in my house)
    From the ghost of your love that's inside (There's a ghost in my house)
    Every day I love you more, so much more (There's a ghost in my house)
    Just keeps on reminding me (There's a ghost in my house) Writer/s: BRIAN HOLLAND, EDWARD HOLLAND, EDWARD, JR. HOLLAND, JR., LAMONT DOZIER, LAMONT HERBERT DOZIER, R. DEAN TAYLOR
