Sweet Illusions

Sweet illusions, keep me company Sweet illusions Sweet illusions, run away with me Sweet illusions I see you in the mirror I hear you sweetly call Please don't break the sweet illusion of it all I still close the window Shut out the city's roar I swear I heard you breathing The gentle rise and fall And there you lay beside me The way you'd always been And my broken heart shook me away From just another empty dream Sweet illusions, keep me company Sweet illusions Sweet illusions, run away with me Sweet illusions I see you in the mirror I hear you sweetly call Please don't break the sweet illusion of it all I saw you pass the rooftops Your hair was raven-black I held you close And felt again the beating of your heart But I know that I'm alone now And is it ghosts I see? They greet me like a fugitive And tell me that love will always be Sweet illusions, keep me company Sweet illusions Sweet illusions, run away with me Sweet illusions I see you in the mirror I hear you sweetly call Please don't break the sweet illusion of it all
