Testo: Pure Prairie League. Mementos 1971-1987. Love Is An Illusion.

(C.Fuller/M.Reilly/T.Goshorn)

Lately I don't know what's going on with me
I feel so different is it somethin' that I failed to see
Yesterday I had you near and it was oh so right
But now you're gone and I can't tell day from night
Close your eyes and see me standin' here
Love or lies everything just disappears

Love is an illusion... never what it seems
Love is just confusion... it's the stuff of broken dreams

I see you walkin' down the main line
You've got your red dress on and you're lookin' so fine
Like a fool I'd run to you with my heart in hand
But you're blind to the things I do and I'll never understand
And I close my eyes look at me and I see you standin' here
And it's not a surprise... everything just disappears

Love is an illusion... it slips right through your hand
Love is just confusion... an' I'll never.. never understand

Love is an illusion... it's a shadow of your smile
Love is just confusion... an' it's with me.. with me all the while

If I could have you here tonight... If I could only hold you tight
Maybe we could figure out why we ever let it go

Love is an illusion... it slips right through your hand
Love is just confusion... an' I'll never.. never understand

Love is an illusion... oh it's just a shadow in your smile
Love is just confusion... an' it's with me all the while

Love is an illusion
Love is just confusion
Love is an illusion
Love is just confusion
