Ghost of a Chance
Patty Lakamp © Copyright 2022
V1
She was my first love and I was hers
A time that still brings a smile
Treasured memories, saved through the years
In a velvet box tucked away in my mind
V2
The smallest hint of her perfume
Our summer nights fill my head
Find her online and gaze at her face
Surprised that I’m holding my breath
Ch
Ghost of a chance
An old lover drifts through your mind
Ghost of a chance
A time you left behind
Ghost of a chance
V3
I have no urge to go back to her
The past is where we should be
But tell you the truth, I secretly hope
That sometimes she thinks about me
Ch
Ghost of a chance
An old lover drifts through your mind
Ghost of a chance
A time you left behind
Ghost of a chance
Br
I couldn’t have known
When it all began
But thanks to her
I’m a richer man
Ch
Ghost of a chance
An old lover drifts through your mind
Ghost of a chance
A time you left behind
Ghost of a chance

Beautiful lyrics. I especially like the velvet box part. Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes.

I really liked these evocative words Patty...see email...

Wow yeah these are also great! I absolutely love the velvet box in my mind imagery, I know exactly what you mean. All those tiny treasures you hold on to...and I love the reflective feel.

@dukongp100 Glad you could relate to what I was going for here. Thank you for commenting.

Nice, I like the imagery for looking at the profile online. It's got a warm sentiment to this lyric, liking the positivity of moving on while still having those good feelings even though it ended

Thanks, Andrea. I'm just getting familiar with FAWM and can't wait to explore the talent that's here.
