won't you help me through the night
help me make it through the night
we can worry about tomorrow when it comes
now it's all that i can take
to sit and watch us break
wishing into your arms i could run

everyday i look more like my father
everyday i look a little less like me
how brave is your love
would a promise be enough
that someday again we would meet

all of my days you mean the most
now i've got to give up your ghost
we'll raise a glass just one final toast
we'll drink to giving up your ghost
i'm giving up your ghost
