Illusions Songtext
we've reached for the top and we got our wings
we're madison avenue bent
with golden chains and with diamond rings
we're envied by our best friends.
you tell me each day that your love is so true
i tell you it's you i adore
we're never pretending and we never feel blue
how could we be asking for more?

refrain:
so many dreams
so many illusions
how was i supposed to know?
so many lies
so many delusions
how is our love to grow?
we'd taken a vow
to surrender our souls
but we've hardly exchanged the keys to our minds
the 'here and now'
our fantasy goal
is beyond the mirage we are trying to find.

we're so happy our live is no make-believe
not acting, no masquerade
there's never been sadness, no sorrow no grief
we never take walks in the shade
we're discussing our lives in our candid way
we're as open as a book
there's nothing inside us we dare not to say
we're never afraid to look.

yet sometimes it seems there's a quiet voice
it's speaking to you and me
but we dare not to listen we've made our choice
we're as happy as can be.

refrain:
so many dreams
so many illusions
how was i supposed to know?
so many lies
so many delusions
how is our love to grow?
we'd taken a vow
to surrender our souls
but we've hardly exchanged the keys to our minds
the 'here and now'
our fantasy goal
is beyond the mirage we are trying to find.
