I promise not to tell a lie
Cross my heart
and hope to die
I know what i say
and i know that it's only
Through the fog
and the banks of the Mississippi
At first i was sure
That i was going crazy
A ghostly serenade
It started singing.
I know that i'm losing my credibility
but i know what i saw
and i know that it's only
I swear on the grave
of my late darling
He had a song he'd always sing.
