I Want to Be a Ghost lyrics
by Sutton Foster
(Verse 1 - Young Penny at 6)
In my dream world, oh so bright
Where the stars twinkle like fireflies at night
I float on clouds and dance with glee
I want to be a ghost, just wait and see!
(Chorus)
I wants to be a ghost, oh can’t you see?
A whisper in the wind, floating wild and free
In the shadows of the night, I can play and roam
I wants to be a ghost, and make the moon my home!
(Verse 2 - Teenage Penny at 16)
In the twilight, where the secrets lie
I, a phantom girl, beneath the starlit sky
With laughter echoing in the empty halls
I twirl around, as the twilight calls
(Chorus)
I wants to be a ghost, oh can’t you see?
A whispеr in the wind, floating wild and free
In the shadows of the night, I can play and roam
I wants to bе a ghost, and make the moon my home!
(Bridge - Penny at 26)
Now I wander through the dreams, so bittersweet
My heart still flutters to the ghostly beat
With memories flickering like candlelight
I wander on, a spirit in the night
(Chorus)
I wants to be a ghost, oh can’t you see?
A whisper in the wind, floating wild and free
In the shadows of the night, I can play and roam
I wants to be a ghost, and make the moon my home!
(Outro)
So here’s my wish, like a fluttering dove
To dance forever on the wings of love
I want to be a ghost, a dream on high
In the silent echoes of the midnight sky
