lyrics

BEAUTIFUL MIRAGE
(Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music, BMI)

My long lost friend
So good to see you smiling back at me
After all this time
So many years have come and gone
And everything's all right but everything is wrong
I had to see you out tonight
Under the stars and the bright lights
A city full of ghosts and you I miss the most

So there we were and here we are
Everything the same and nothing as it was
And I don’t know how I should feel
‘Cause here you are with me
But none of this is real
You are so beautiful to me
I look at you, all I can see is all that I have lost
A beautiful mirage

So tell me lies but please don’t go
‘Cause darling you don’t know
the longing in my heart
We’ll make believe and then I’ll go
Back to gray and cold
Back to what I know
I should not be with you this way
Your kisses carry me away
To somewhere I had lost
A beautiful mirage
