Midnight Mirage
Jennifer Rush · Other Songs - Jennifer Rush
Moonlight highway I
See your face in the
Blue of the dashboard lights
Gonna see you tonight
Constant miles runnin´
´Neath my wheels I see
All those headlights
And billboards rushin´ out of sight
Gonna be with you tonight
And the radio´s playin´some song
And I suddenly realize
That´s the song the were playing
The very first time that I looked
Into your eyes
Singing
You are so beautiful tonight
My midnight mirage
I´ll make you real
I´ll hold you tight
My midnight mirage
I´ll be safe in your arms
In a little while
All this
Time and distance and
Rhyme and reason made
My decision oh
How you make me feel
Oh you make me feel so real
Almost feels like you´re
Here beside me instead
Of some place
Some place I could never find
I´m bound to find it this time
And the radio station is lost
In the distance so far behind
But the song they were playin´
Still echos around and around
In my mind
Singing
You are so beautiful tonight
My midnight mirage
I´ll make you real
I´ll hold you tight
My midnight mirage
I´ll be safe in your arms
In a little while
Movin´ fast thru this
Moonlight highway
Got ten more nine more eight more miles
Away from you
All of my life with you
You are so beautiful tonight
My midnight mirage
I´ll make you real
I´ll hold you tight
My midnight mirage
I´ll be safe in your arms
In a little while
