Imitation Of Life Lyrics & Chords By Billie Ray Martin

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
Mm-hmm

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 a weak foundation
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

Oh 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
So many lies
All of them mine
All of the time
Imitation of life
And the days go by

I'm passing the time
Every night yes
Imitation of life
And the dreams go by

Passing the time
So many lies
All of them mine
