Illusion

I used to live a happy life
pretty baby pretty wife
you're my sunshine yet you are my strive
and everything seems grey
as long as you're not here with me
it's a dark and cloudy day

And if you go to Africa
or to some other far away place
if you're going to live there for some years
in the tropic sun
I hope you will remember me
a sad one left down in tears

I think this feelings will get by
as time is passing on its way
but I can't help feeling that there must be more
I know your face
it's somewhere inside of me
and so I say
did'nt we meet before

We conceive before we speak
and our minds are perfectly tuned
and I can understand the story in your eyes
and it seems to me so obviously
or isn't this what they call Idealise

This relation will not stand
the feelings that I found at end
are they worth changing all these lives
and I believe
a decision made in consciousness
is never, never made in vain
