It felt too real to be a dream
We were getting high on gasoline
Sittin' on the banks where the river bends
We laughed and danced and sang
And we talked about everything
Sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend
And you couldn't tell me much
About the afterlife and such
Just about the beauty of the end
You said no need to be afraid
And I'd understand it all someday
Just sit here with the ghost of your bеst friend
Wish this night could last forever
Wish this momеnt had no end
And if this is a dream
Please, don't wake me from my sleep
Cause I'm sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend
The sun was sinkin' down
Stars lit up this river town
I noticed tears were falling in your hands
Dreams you knew you'd never see
I swear you'll see them now through me
Traveling with the ghost of my best friend
Then you said you had to go
But you wanted me to know
You'd put a word in for me if you can
Before you turned around to leave
You came and put your arms 'round me
And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend
Wish this night could last forever
Wish this moment had no end
And if this is a dream
Please, don't wake me from my sleep
Cause I'm sittin' here with the ghost of my best friend
It felt too real to be a dream
We were high on gasoline
Sitting where the river starts to bend
Before you turned around to leave
You came and threw your arms round me
And I said goodbye to the ghost of my best friend
So glad, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend
Oh Lord, I've been sitting here with the ghost of my best friend
