I am the ghost of relationships past You can see I'm very busy, so many don't last I haunt the hearts of the also-rans I don't do it cause I can No, it's with compassion I understand the sorrow That it won't go away I offer solace, enough to say Have hope and appreciation Some understanding For I too feel their hurt You probably don't know But we ghosts are built that way Take the couple I just met Penny is from heaven Ted is the best A good man at the core But he strayed from the nest They split-up Both are now bereft This is how I just worked that one I whispered to them That maybe she should forgive And he should never forget How wonderful life used to be Perhaps it would be best To talk again, to walk again along that garden path Love can work on the rebound But you've got to take that chance I'm happy to report these fresh results They've agreed to relate Establishing romantic relations once again They're going on date, on which I shall accompany them To ensure that things go well Then it's home to Mrs. Ghost Whom I first met at the Heartbreak Hotel

The Ghost of Relationships Past
I am the ghost of relationships past You can see I'm very busy, so many don't last I haunt the hearts of the also-rans I don't do it cause I can No, it's with compassion I understand the sorrow That it won't go away I offer solace, enough to say Have hope and appreciation Some understanding For I too feel their hurt You probably don't know But we ghosts are built that way Take the couple I just met Penny is from heaven Ted is the best A good man at the core But he strayed from the nest They split-up Both are now bereft This is how I just worked that one I whispered to them That maybe she should forgive And he should never forget How wonderful life used to be Perhaps it would be best To talk again, to walk again along that garden path Love can work on the rebound But you've got to take that chance I'm happy to report these fresh results They've agreed to relate Establishing romantic relations once again They're going on date, on which I shall accompany them To ensure that things go well Then it's home to Mrs. Ghost Whom I first met at the Heartbreak Hotel
