    Let me go I''m only letting you down

    I ''ve got nothing to say to you now

    I lose the feelings that are weighing me down

    When I''m safe



    It''s turning morning all the birds sing

    I''m not complicating anything

    I''ll have another then I''ll go to bed

    But I''ll dream of you



    Cause it''s almost over

    And it''s almost gone



    And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming

    Sweet confusion, honey

    Sweet illusion coming down

    And I ain''t got nothing but love for you now



    You and I used to shine like a jewel

    But times been nothing to us but cruel

    So play it out and never played the fool

    Cause you''ll lose every time



    We were nothing, we were only the past

    Hard times like that don''t last

    I''ve been forgiven, I''ve been surpassed

    By my heart

    Have you




    Cause it''s almost over

    Yeah it''s almost gone



    And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

    Sweet Confusion, honey

    Sweet Illusion coming down

    And I ain''t got nothing but love for you



    Love for you I can''t use

    And lonely nights multiplied by the blues

    That I can''t resolve



    You never knew me but I did my best

    I''m just lonely inside I guess

    You gave me everything you really tried

    Thanks....



    If we were nothing and we''re only the past

    Then I''m just living in a dream I guess

    A long black dream that takes me down the river to you



    Where it''s almost over

    And we''re almost gone



    And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming

    Sweet Confusion, honey

    Sweet Illusion coming down



    And I ain''t got nothing but love for you now
