Ghostly Eyes

GHOSTLY EYES
 
				
				Ghostly eyes,
				She’s got ghostly eyes
				That look right through me
				But to my surprise
				I don’t disappear
				Merely lose my disguise.
 
				Ghostly eyes,
				She’s got ghostly eyes.
				They take me away
				To more sunny skies.
				She gives me wings and
				How my heart flies.
 
				Ghostly eyes,
				She’s got ghostly eyes
				And when she looks my way
				I recognize
				Our souls are linked
				Through a thousand lives.
 
				Ghostly eyes,
				She’s got ghostly eyes.
				They speak to me dearly
				With words so wise
				I no longer fear death
				Because our love never dies.

Love the way it repeats yet changes, drives the point home

Thank you, I have a melody in my head but I'm not a musician so I will have to outsource that part; good news is I have a lot of musician friends and will put one of them to work on it. Thanks again.
