n the shadows of these alleys and halls, I find you,

Gone in a heartbeat, before I can reach through.

Chasing your memory as you fade away,

Living without you, it’s tough every day.

I cherish all that you were, now I know you’re gone,

But my mind paints images, strong and drawn.

I see you approach, your face clear in view,

It whispers you still wish to be close, too.

Oh yes, oh, you long to be near,

Oh yes, oh, the time feels right here.

Mirage, that’s what you are to me,

A vision, something I only see.

I wander through alleys and halls, calling your name,

Recalling those kisses in doorways, the same.

And those drives in the car, memories unfold,

Saturday movies, never growing old.

The places we dined, echoes of laughter,

I yearn for the past, for moments thereafter.

I envision you coming into view again,

Your face, it tells me we could begin.

Oh yes, oh, you long to be near,

Oh yes, oh, the time feels right here.

Mirage, that’s what you are to me,

A vision, something I only see.

Just a mirage, that’s what you’ll always be,

An illusion, a dream only I can see.

Just a mirage, forever out of reach,

Just a mirage, like waves upon the beach.
