Grand Illusion Lyrics

The song Grand Illusion is performed by Eric Clapton in the album named August in the year 2000 .



I saw you in a dream, it hit me like a bright light
Flashing on a screen, visions of my whole life
I used to chase the moment of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire

It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion
Heart was quicker than the eye
Nothin' but a grand illusion
Legend in my own mind

I held you in my arms till the other side of midnight
Kept you in my mind, you got me through some long nights
Standing on the threshold of desire
Caught between the madness and the fire

It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion
Heart was quicker than the eye
Nothin' but a grand illusion
Legend in my own mind

It was all a grand illusion
Hand was quicker than the eye
Nothin' but a grand illusion
Legends in our own mind

I used to chase the moments of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire

It was just a, nothin' but a
It was all a grand illusion
Nothin' but a grand illusion
It was all a grand illusion
Legend in my own mind

It was just a grand illusion
Nothin' but a grand illusion
It was just a grand illusion
Legend in our own mind
