I beg him to haunt me, but he only answers once a year. On Halloween, the veil thins, and my dead husband returns for one night. Listen on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube Music. iTunes is an affiliate link.
HAUNT ME (Lyrics)
(VERSE 1)
I made your favorite
put your plate in front of your chair
your coffee cup is waiting
for me to fill it when you’re here
it’s my busy night
the doorbell ringing repeatedly
Don’t worry, if we run out of candy
I’ve saved your favorite treat
I keep checking the time
wondering when you’ll decide to appear
I always love this mystical day
We look forward to it every year
(PRE CHORUS)
I set the table every single day
but there’s a power on Halloween night
you usually show up unannounced
I love that kind of magical fright
(CHORUS)
The candles burn
the pumpkins smile
the dark chilled air
brings you to me
I know you know
that’s why I love Halloween
it’s our special day
the one we celebrate
it’s the only day I get to fill your plate
(VERSE 2)
Staring at you dressed in your best
devouring your meal
like it’s your first
while sipping your coffee
I often wonder, “Am I cursed”
to love you this much and never let go
I can’t decide if this is a gift
or somebody’s cruel trick
either way I never question it
(PRE CHORUS)
I set the table every single day
but there’s a power on Halloween night
you usually show up unannounced
I love that kind of magical fright
(CHORUS)
The candles burn
the pumpkins smile
the dark chilled air
brings you to me
I know you know
that’s why I love Halloween
it’s our special day
the one we celebrate
it’s the only day I get to fill your plate
(BRIDGE)
I always set your place at the table
hoping this once-a-year visit will change
hoping you’ll come back to me again and again
but it never happens
your visits come once each year
that’s the only day you’re able to appear
pacing the floor
I count the tears I’ve cried
but nothing compares
to the day that you died
(OUTRO CHORUS)
I set the table every single day
but there’s a power on Halloween night
you usually show up unannounced
I love that kind of magical fright
I wipe the tears I’ve cried
for just a short while I get you back,
but I know you’re not alive
I know you’re not alive
THEIR HAUNTING LOVE STORY:
I beg him to haunt me, but he only answers once a year.
Every single day, I set his place at the table. I fill his coffee cup and leave an empty chair waiting, hoping against hope that today is the day the universe bends its rules, that his once-a-year visit will stretch into tomorrow. But it never does.
Until the calendar turns to October 31st.
Halloween night carries a heavy, unmistakable power. It is the only time the veil thins enough for him to materialize, stepping out of the autumn chill to sit across from me once more. As the candles flicker and the pumpkins cast soft shadows, he devours his favorite meal just like he used to, completely unannounced.
People might call it a trick, or wonder if I am cursed to love a ghost so fiercely that I can never let go. But when you have lost the person who was your entire world, an eerie, romantic midnight reunion is a miracle you will take in any form you can get.
