V1
I thought you hung the moon in the city's glow
We danced the night away as music slowly flowed
The vows were given in confusion
But forever's just a sweet illusion

Yes, forever’s just a sweet illusion

V2
Yet we danced our way to our fool’s paradise
Whispering to each other promises and lies
Reality made its grand intrusion
Cuz forever’s just a sweet illusion

Forever’s just a sweet illusion

BRIDGE
Our love was short like a video montage
Cutting to the end like a wonderful mirage

Oh-oh-oh!
Oh-oh-oh!

V3
Now I’m sitting here and you’re over there
Waiting for moments that are far too, far too rare
Funny. We learned nothing in conclusion
That forever’s just a sweet illusion

Yes, forever’s just a sweet illusion

Oh, forever’s just a sweet illusion
