Lyrics

MANY GHOSTS AT THE PARTY (Music & Lyric by Louis Rosen)

Dad lies alone in his bed
With a faraway look on his face
Old pictures dance in his head
Distant moments that time can’t erase
Dad sighs and turns off the light
There are many ghosts at the party tonight

Sweet streams of memories fly
Ma and Pa seem to be everywhere
Old scenes go whispering by
All his brothers and sisters are there
Dad’s overwhelmed by the sight
There are many ghosts at the party tonight

He wonders why
Why he is the last one?
Shakes his head
Almost starts to cry
He’s lived his life
Four score years and more
A life well-lived
He wonders what he’s waiting for

Dad lies awake on his bed
With a glimmer of hope in his eyes
Unsure of what lies ahead
After all of the final goodbyes
Dad sighs and turns toward the light
There are many ghosts at the party
There are so many ghosts at the party tonight

He wonders why
Why he is the last one?
Shakes his head
Almost starts to cry
He’s lived his life
Four score years and more
A life well-lived
He wonders what he’s waiting for

Dad lies alone in his bed
With a glimmer of hope in his eyes…
