Alter Bridge - Ghost Of Days Gone By Lyrics






The misery I know
Like a friend that won't let go
Is creeping up on me now once again

So I sing this song tonight
To the ghost that will not die
And somehow seems to haunt me till the end

Do you feel the same
For what once remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry for the Ghost of Days Gone By

I remember summer days
We were young and unafraid
With innocence we'd glide beneath the stars

It seems so long ago
Beyond the life that I now know
Before the years would have their way and break my heart

Do you feel the same
For what once remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry for the Ghost of Days Gone By

And I know it's drawing closer
With each day I fear the end
And I... don't wanna die
Don't wanna die, don't wanna die

I don't wanna die

Do you feel the same
For what once remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry for the days gone by
Do they haunt you like a ghost until the end
Haunt you till the end, until the end
Until the end, until the end

  7. P.... P....

    Just about my fav track from boys! AB FOR LIFE!

  8. B.... O....

    That fuckin' bridge riff. Tremonti's the next Hetfield. The tone, jeez, and it's heavier than plutonium. WOW

  9. C.... B....

    This is the last song I've listen to with my dad before he died thank you

  10. M.... D....

    Where the hell is the lyrics

  11. C.... H....

  12. J.... J....

    Would love to hear the original riff in odd timing

  13. S.... T....

    This song definitely reminds me of Sora And Kairi from Kingdom Hearts and also reminds me of Sora’s disappearance in the aftermath of Kingdom Hearts 3

  21. T.... G....

    Stand up and shout

  22. W.... o....

    I offer this song to someone that I hold very dear, even though I was left totally devastated. Life threw everything that was possible on us, and we held close together, because we had each other and that was enough. And we had the most beautiful and pure moments, of pure laughter and joy. We could be the kids that we are, not the adults life forced us to be. Until one day life happened again, and everything wasn't enough anymore.

    Everything has changed for me since then. I've wandered, lost, through a sad and dark place for more than a year, but what I've learned on this journey is what made me whole again. There isn't sadness in my eyes anymore. I'm living like never before, because I was never alive.

    We are strangers now, like we've never met before. It's a tragedy to see something that was so innocent and beautiful fade away like this, but... it had to be like that. I had to endure the throes of watching everything of us fading away. Our love, our future, our dreams. Because it was on my struggle to overcome that storm that I've found a different kind of love: the powerful love my friends hold in their hearts for me and... love for my life and love for myself. I do not feel that emptiness anymore, nor feel myself hollow anymore. I'm loved and I love myself and I'm so glad to be alive. There is moments that I'm overcome by this bliss of just being alive, of watching the beauty in the small things. And then I cry, because I am alive and I can witness all this beauty around me.
    I'll always remember the fox, the creature I've loved with all the might in my heart, who brought the biggest summer storm that I ever knew, the storm that changed my life forever. Thank you.

    W.... o....

    cool story,inspirational

  23. R.... R....

    The songs of James Phelps (Fred Weasley)

  24. R.... S....

    That guitar solo is so simple but beautifully fits the song

  25. J.... W....

    Such a beautiful and breath taking melody!

  26. N.... ....

    Man when I heard this song again, I thought about the awesome times I had with my cousins brothers grandparents and uncle at my grandmas house. So many memories😢

  27. 7.... ....

    Why would we go to your new channel? We're here for the music, not your pathetic skype sex gay baiting BU!!$#!7 channel.

  28. c.... ....

    this is like the song of 2010 for me. Alter Bridge fan for life 🤘

  29. P.... T....

    I thought to myself "This is a good song and it sounds nice!" And then that sudden change and twist towards the 2nd half got me like "Woah!"

  30. J.... B....

    I just lost my best last night and only friend and my fiance is in the hospital this song is helping

  31. C.... H....

    perfect songs!

  32. d.... b....

    Can't lie, definitely cried listening to this. Powerful

  33. G.... W....

    Before the years would have their way and break my heart…

  34. R.... W....

    Do you you cry for the Ghost of Days gone by? Yes you do! 1986 or 1993 would suffice for all.. 2018 Stinks.

  35. T.... G....

    I think this song would have been much better without the jarring pitch shift in the middle

    T.... G....

    TGX Game Reviews dude I literally skip the dark part. To me they ruined the whole emotional feel of it.

    T.... G....

    Thats the sadness of the moment captured beautifully

  36. E.... S....

    One of the funnest songs I've ever learned (tremontis part) its in marks weird bad ass tuning. Love these guys

  37. L.... S....

    Edge brought me here

  38. N.... R....

    Bad ass my dude

  39. M.... R....

    This band is amazing. How on earth had I never heard of them before omg... They're my new favorite <3

  40. T.... M....

    The more I listen to the final part, more I like it

  41. J.... ....

    Fuck the edge

  42. I.... M....

    It does make me sad that we can't go back but in all honesty I love where I am in life. I've learned so much and it's just going to get better. Obviously there will be sad times as well but that's life unfortunately.

  43. A.... N....

    My mom said if I listened to this song one more time she was gonna smash my face in the keyboardkdkdlwlslkgmdndmckckckckcldlslsldlfl

  44. j.... ....

    Man... Marks riffs are legendary. He's so unique! <3

  45. A.... A....

    Bellissima, la malinconia che ti fa provare questa canzone è indescrivibile.. un vero e proprio mix di emozioni: la nostalgia del passato, la consapevolezza del presente e la voglia di rialzarsi e guardare avanti abbandonando i fantasmi del passato. La migliore canzone degli AB, Tremonti piazza delle armonie incredibili e un assolo davvero niente male, Myles arricchisce il tutto col suo timbro.. davvero stupenda

    A.... A....

    Diciamo una delle loro migliori...

  46. J.... G....

    every ab album is good in its own way

  47. K.... C....

    I was in prison when I first heard this song and band.. thank God for music 🤘

  48. V.... P....

    grandiiiiiii cazzoooooooooo

  49. R.... J....

    This has such a painful nostalgic feeling to it...puts me to tears

  50. M.... B....

    Myles Kennedy is absolutely amazing. I never really listen to the words of a song, I'm all about the guitars, but damn man,..his vocal power and incredible range are just incredible.
    Love this band and how appropriate that he sings for Slash...my favorite guitarist

  51. I.... Z....

    Holy hell, first time I heard this song... really fuckin' good

  52. S.... ....

    This song really speaks to me. The years definitely had their way and broke my heart. Trying to pick up the pieces and move on for several years now.

  53. r.... r....

    Always!

  54. c.... ....

    them good days of summer back in middle school 👌

  55. P.... S....

  56. 5.... ....

    WWE Hall Of Famer The Rated R Superstar Edge brought me here

  57. j.... b....

    Myles Kennedy has such a great voice,  one of the best ever. I love me some Alter Bridge!

  58. E.... T....

    bu da güzel

  59. E.... C....

    LOVE THIS SONG

  60. R.... L....

    When I hear this song, I think about the good times I had with mates from school & uni that have now moved away and have their own lives. Sometimes I wish I could rewind time and do it all again. But life goes on and we move on.......

    R.... L....

    Music is the way you relive those experiences. Even songs and artists that were not really the best in the world to me at the time still make the memories come flooding back of all the good times when I hear them today. I grew up in the late 80's and was in high school in the early 90's. All hard rock, grunge, and even pop songs just keep my spirits up and remind me of the good times. I spent a lot of time at my grandfather's house in 86-87. When I hear a lot of songs from those years they remind me of him and the time I spent with him. He has passed away and I miss him so much. I guess that is why music is a very important part of my life and always will be...Always a memory attached to the music...

    R.... L....

    God I wish I could go back!!! I'd do so many things different like not push the one person who cared about me away. I would of never touched drug's or alchol. Well maybe alitte alchol. But I would of done things so much differently. Eventually everyone moves on & it's to late to change anything.

    R.... L....

    Ryan Leslie, spot on. Amen to that.

    R.... L....

    Queue in Life Must Go On

  61. V.... Y....

    Hey guys, Ive listened to all of Alter Bridge's songs and im fucking impressed.But that song is unbelievable ... *_*
    If anyone could tell me any other song from different band but sounding just as "Ghost of Days gone by", I would be really glad.
    Appreciate your help!Thanks!

  62. J.... M....

    I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 5 YEARS!! I HEARD OF THIS SONG ON EDGE'S DOCUMENTARY.

  63. A.... L....

    One of the best live performances you can see! amazing rock band, Myles Kennedy is the best!

  64. V.... R....

    I can listen to that intro repeatedly for hours and still not appreciate it enough. Magical.

  68. R.... C....

    Yes he is

  69. S.... D....

    fuck you lyrics

  70. N.... E....

    best song ever!!!!!

  71. D.... S....

    I have no idea why people think that it's positive and uplifting song. It's sad as fuck, always makes me cry.

    D.... S....

    Damien Scott people probably just say that when they first hear it before getting to the bridge and not paying attention to the lyrics

  72. B.... B....

    The best concert I've been too. Myles Kennedy is the most talented rockstar out there. Best vocalist and very good guitarist

  73. J.... T....

    Uma das melhores músicas da Alter!

  74. H.... P....

    I don't always listen to this song but when i do, i do it repeatedly

    H.... P....

    Herman Pops me too...it's sort of melancholy but the song itself is so great

  75. S.... ....

    Finally hit 1 million!!!!!

  76. M.... A....

    I….dont want to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  77. s.... 4....

    thank you for uploading this!!!!

  78. A.... L....

    why can't I find this song on Napster/rhapsody

  79. B.... N....

    WWE Edge documentary brought me here 😎🤘🏻

    B.... N....

    Yep me too. He was and will always be one of my favorites

    B.... N....

    You should listen to Alter Bridge - Blackbird

    B.... N....

    Blk Nic26 Same Here

    B.... N....

    Same here man! :') amazing documentary.

  80. T.... J....

    Love this song.

  81. t.... k....

    I actually cried when they announced his induction to the hall of fame but the bastard deserves the retirement still hearing this and his theme song just makes me wish he did not retire

  82. R.... S....

    beautiful!!!!!

  83. V.... K....

    let us not forget that this was once creed rip creed

    V.... K....

    Richard Rodrigues Don't be unfair now, in this album (and since Blackbird) Myles Kennedy contributed to 50% of the song writing process so it's not Creed, it's Alter Bridge

    V.... K....

    Exactly ^^

    V.... K....

    Creed was dead long time ago, Their reunion tour was just the final nail in the coffin. Scott Stepp has something between narcissistic and bipolar personality disorder and just impossible to work with, while Myles and ex-Creed guys just having fun.

  84. J.... T....

    DO YOU,...EVER CRY FOR THE DAYS GONE BY? I DO SOME DAYS! AWESOME TUNE!!!

  85. G.... G....

    Ze trzy lata tego już nie słyszałem!!!! O_O

  89. j.... m....

    Just wanted to say Myles Kennedy is the best singer out right now and Slash should be proud (not saying he is not) to have his vocals.

    j.... m....

    the best

    j.... m....

    not proud...but privlaged

    j.... m....

    jose mireles for what its worth mk is one ofbthe best musicians alive or dead

    j.... m....

    The fuck? They're in a band together and Slash has been quoted as saying Myles is "fucking amazing" and that his singing style is "surreal."
