Help with song title, driving my hubby crazy, help please?

For several days my husband has had the tune to a song in his head, it came out in the late 1970's or early to mid 1980's, all he can remember is it's a love song about a sad man grieving over the death of his wife and in the song he is at one point dancing with her ghost.

It's NOT Ghost Dancer or Ghost Dance

Update:

Great guess with IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND, that makes two of us who know the meaning of that song, but that's not it either. Hubby isn't remembering a video but bits of a song, just enough to know what it's about, the dead woman could be a girlfriend and not a wife, he is certain it came out between 1978 to 1985 and the tune with few words stuck in his mind is making him near frantic to HEAR it to get rid of it AND stop his wondering as to it's title. I suggested GHOST DANCE & GHOST DANCER, looked them up and it's not either of those or anything else suggested, yet. PLEASE HELP! TY
