(Mmm, yeah)
(I miss you, Clara)
The silence in this room is getting loud
I’m searching for your face inside a crowd
It’s been a minute since you walked away
But I still have a thousand words to say
I see your shadow dancing on the wall
I’m waiting for the moment you might call
But deep inside I know you’re gone for good
I’d bring you back in a heartbeat if I could
Clara Akakpo, you’re the ghost inside my mind
A treasure that I know I’ll never find
You’ll forever be the rhythm in my heart
Even though we had to drift apart
Yeah, Clara, my love, it’s true
Everything I do, I’m doing it for you
Oh, Clara, I miss you
I keep your picture tucked inside my coat
I read the little letters that you wrote
The scent of your perfume is fading fast
I’m clinging to the memories of the past
I try to sleep but dreams just bring you near
I wake up and I’m drowning in a tear
It’s heavy, baby, knowing we are through
But every single song I sing is still for you
Clara Akakpo, you’re the ghost inside my mind
A treasure that I know I’ll never find
You’ll forever be the rhythm in my heart
Even though we had to drift apart
Yeah, Clara, my love, it’s true
Everything I do, I’m doing it for you
Oh, Clara, I miss you
I need you here, but you’re so far away
I’m wishing that the night would turn to day
But colors fade to grey without your light
I’m holding on to hope with all my might
Come here, let me whisper what I feel
I’m wondering if any of this is real
The seasons change but I am standing still
I’m climbing up this lonely, jagged hill
I’ll carry all the love we used to share
I’ll find you in the cooling of the air
Clara, you’re a part of who I am
I’m doing all I can just to understand
Why destiny would tear our world in two
But baby, I’ll be loving only you
Clara Akakpo, you’re the ghost inside my mind
A treasure that I know I’ll never find
You’ll forever be the rhythm in my heart
Even though we had to drift apart
Yeah, Clara, my love, it’s true
Everything I do, I’m doing it for you
Oh, Clara, I miss you
I miss you, Clara
Always in my heart, baby
Yeah, you’re forever there
Clara Akakpo, I love you
(Mmm, forever)
