Bob Halligan

Midnite mirage

Movin' fast through this moonlight highway

I see your face in the blue of the dashboard light

I'm gonna see you tonight

Constant miles runnin' 'neath my wheels I see

Semi headlights and billboards rushin' out of sight

Yeah, I'm gonna be with you tonight

And the radio's playin' some song

And I suddenly realize

Well that's the song they were playin'

The very first time that I looked

Into your eyes — they were singin':

CHORUS

"You are so beautiful tonite (aw, my baby)

My midnite mirage

I'll make you real — I'll hold you tight

(aw, you know I will)

My midnite mirage"

Well I'll be safe in your arms

In a little while

All this time and distance and rhyme and reason and

Windshield wipers and the way you make me feel

Aw you make me feel so real

Almost feels like you're here beside me

Instead of someplace — someplace I could never find

Yeah, well I'm gonna find it this time

And the radio station is lost in the distance

So far behind

But the song they were playin' keeps

Echoin’ round and around in my mind

They were singin':

CHORUS

But for now I'll drive

Movin' fast through this moonlight highway

I got ten more (ten) Nine more (nine)

Eight more miles 'til I'm with you

All of my life with you

You are so beautiful tonite, yeah my baby

My midnite mirage

I'll make you real — I'll hold you tight

Oh yes I will (My midnite mirage)

Midnite mirage

You are so beautiful (You are so beautiful tonite)

So beautiful — yeah (My midnite mirage)

I'm gonna make you real

I'm gonna hold you tight

Oh, my midnite mirage (Midnite mirage)

'Til then I'll drive

I see you babe — see you babe

See you babe

You are so beautiful tonight
