Lyrics
Did you believe the stories your grandpa used to tell
When you'd huddle up at midnight around the fire?
Tales of Sleepy Hollow and Edgar Allen Poe,
Were you still scared when morning came around?
Chorus:
Those tall tales are told
To every little girl and boy
They always have and they probably always will.
Now that we've grown, we know ghosts don't exist,
So, leave that haunting memory from the past, turn the page.
Your old beau's just a memory
A prisoner from your past.
A story like your grandpa used to tell.
You know he can't touch you
He's from your past.
I'll protect you from his ghostly memory.
Now, the little girl in you
Believes he's still around
Hiding in some corner of your mind.
But the woman you've become
Can make him disappear
leaving you forever in my arms.
Chorus...
Tales of Sleepy Hollow and Edgar Allen Poe.
It's a story like your grandpa used to tell.
