Santana

Songwriter: Leon Patillo

I am just a mirage
Oh - I am just a mirage

When you look at me
Thru your crystal glass you will see
That I am now your past
But you give your love to me
In your life I wasn't meant to be
Oh I am just a mirage
Oh I am just a mirage
Just a mirage fading away like water

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
I am just a mirage

But until that day has come
When you say I'll be your only one
I will live the way it's meant for me
With ups and downs and mystery

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage

Just a mirage
Fading away like water
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am just a mirage

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
