In the dim lights of the cabaret

I see ghosts of yesterday

With my dress of tear-soaked satin

I recall the love once tragic

Saxophone cries its mournful tune

Echoes trapped in a darkened room

Rain tapping on the old window

Whispers secrets long ago

Memories like shadows dance

Haunting me with every glance

Every note a bittersweet sigh

Melodies that make me cry

Piano keys they touch my heart

Striking chords where past has scarred

Lovers lost in time's cruel play

Fading softly day by day

Empty smile in a cracked mirror

Eyes reveal the deepened terror

Soft perfume a lingering trace

Ashes fall like lost embrace

Memories like shadows dance

Haunting me with every glance

Every note a bittersweet sigh

Melodies that make me cry
