He lies all alone in his bed,
He thinks of the weekend they met,
His Ol heart will never forget
Their world when romance
He'd answer if someone should ask,
That somehow she slipt through his graspHis future is linked to the past by the ghost of a chance

(chorus)

He hears her voice as she enters the room She offers her soft hand to him in the light of the moon
He holds her close, they sway to the tune For a while he is lost in the dance with a ghost of a chance

He's moved by the gown that she wears,
And the single red rose in her hair
In his mind he places it there all over again These moments in time hold him fast these memories out of his past won't die as long as he has the ghost of a chance

(repeat chorus)

For a while he is lost in the dance,
With a ghost of a chance
