You cannot hug a shadow's neck You cannot kiss a silhouette But I've done both Time and time again You reel me in like rain on a tin roof When I open the door to let you in You are not there, the sky is clear There's not a cloud in sight Am I believing in a ghost Am I wishing on a star Am I loving you the most Because I can't be where you are And am I wishing you were here 'Cause I know you cannot be Am I going crazy, dear Your secret eyes, they touch my skin I wish that I could pretend But as you know That really ain't my field I sit around, looking much too serious And I stand still, lay in dark period But all the day will fly away Am I believing in a ghost Am I wishing on a star Am I loving you the most Because I can't be where you are And am I wishing you were here Because I know you cannot be Am I going crazy, dear To let you get the best of me Am I believing in a ghost Am I wishing on a star Am I loving you the most Because I can't be where you are And am I wishing you were here 'Cause I know you cannot be Am I going crazy, dear Am I going crazy, dear Am I going crazy To let you get the best of me
