Ghost Girl

[Verse 1] They moved into the old, creaky hall, With cracked-up portraits lining the wall. The family thought they’d hit the prize, Didn’t see the shadowy, watching eyes. In a dusty room with a chill in the air, A lonely ghost girl waits up there. She’d been playing alone for ages past, Longing for a friend, a bond to last. [Chorus] She’s a family ghost with a big, bright smile, Trying to play but out of style. Popping up through walls, and floors that creak, Just wants a friend, but things look bleak. Invisible whispers, a hand to hold, This haunting heart’s not made of mold. [Verse 2] She leaves her teddy in the middle of the hall, Floats her favorite book down near the wall. The girl shrieks, “Mom! The toys are alive!” But the ghost girl just wants to feel alive. Plays hopscotch on the attic floor, Leaves chalk footprints right by the door. She hums lullabies in the dead of night, But her giggling echo gives a fright! [Chorus] She’s a family ghost, just ten years old, A friend would warm her spirit cold. Rattling windows, moans in the air, She’s lonely, but sweet if they’d only care. Haunting in pigtails, a dress that’s torn, Just a little ghost feeling so forlorn. [Bridge] Then one day, the girl hears her sing, Softly whispering through the hallway wing. “I’m just like you, please don’t fear— Let’s be friends, I’ll stay right here.” A handprint forms on frosty glass, As ghost girl hopes for friendship at last. [Verse 3] She tries her hardest, pulls out all the stops, Moving pillows, making little props. Her playmate runs, screams down the stairs, But the ghost sighs, like no one cares. Just a peek of hope, a friend for a day, Is all she wants, but they run away. [Final Chorus] She’s a family ghost, soft and shy, With a haunting wish that’ll never die. She’ll keep trying, soft and true, To make a friend in someone new. A spirit lonely, yet full of cheer— The family ghost who’s still waiting here. Lyrics by megaSICK / Nero
