I look into your eyes It's a shadow on my wall And shadows of your smile Will be all I can recall All inventions Of my own perfection Passing the time Every night Imitation of life And the days go by (yeah)
I gaze into the night It's a feeling that I find The first time that you smiled Is the last thing on my mind, oh yes Sweet salvation From my weak foundations All of the time So many lies Imitation of life And the days go by
Passing the time Every night Imitation of life And the dreams go by
I look into your eyes It's a shadow on my wall And shadows of your smile Will be all I can recall All inventions From my own perfection Passing the time So many lies (yes) All of it mine All of the time Imitation of life And the days go by
Oh I'm passing the time Every night, yes Imitation of life And the dreams go by Passing the time So many lies All of it mine
