Illusion Lyrics - Gaby Moreno

I once would receive invitations 

for cocktails on top of the Ritz 

I'd take without hesitation 

All of the glamour and glitz 

But I'll let you in on a secret 

Diamonds are just little rocks 

At broad daylight 

they sparkle so bright 

There's not much to see in the dark 

I once had a vintage Ferrari 

Gave it to Jean-Luc Godard 

Crossed many seas on a hot air balloon 

to spoonfeed the lions caviar

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

I soon developed an interest 

to come home and kick off my shoes 

Crank up my old Victroller 

Cause there's nothing like feeling the blues 

Nothing can ease the heartache 

From that boy going away 

The Ritz is no fun at a table for one 

It's all folly and phony I'd say 

I've meditated with Ghandi 

Then sailed to Bali for an afternoon swim 

Still couldn't shake off the longing 

For one more tomorrow with him 

So I'll drink a toast to the memories 

of all that we used to be 

All that I have are these daydreams 

Until he comes back to me 

Photos 

Ooooooo ooooh ooo ooo ooo 

ooo ooo ooooh 

ooo ooo 

ooo oo ooo 

ooo oo 

ooo ooo ooo ooo 

I've come to this final conclusion 

Of things that are not to be 

Life's a despairing illusion 

Until he comes back to me 

ooo ooo ooo oooooooooo
