My Own [lyrics]

[Intro]
The wedding bells ring through time,
The innocence passing me by,
The dress I once called my own,
A reflection of catching the bus home,
As I find myself alone,

[Chorus]
Followed each night,
By your haunting ghost,
A lover that's been lost,
Burned and unable to ignite,
But, I still, call you, my own,

Guilty of pleasures unknown,
To lips as ours did kiss,
Your memorable words inside,
Still seeping through my skin,
Waiting for you to find,
The bride you left behind,

As I manage through the ages,
Reading and passing the pages,
Watching and waiting,
Each charming fold,
Remembering the years
We could have grown old,

[Chorus]
Followed each night,
By your calling ghost,
A lover that's been lost,
Burned and unable to ignite,
But, I still, call you, my own,

At night while the windows break,
I'll keep waiting for your sound,
Waiting for your voice,
To come invite me to stay,
For each and every lasting day,

I'll always, call you, my own.
