Let's Pretend

(альбом: Close Cover Before Playing - 1969)

Let's pretend that you still love me
Make believe that I still love you
What a thing we had just yesterday

Love was young and sentimental
We were warm and oh so gentle
Let's pretend that we're still close that way
Just like yesterday

Even though we feel like parting
Let's pretend our love's just starting
Can't we be the way we were before?

Maybe if we keep pretending
We may have a happy ending
And find we're not pretending anymore

(La, la-la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la)

Even though we feel like parting
Let's pretend that we're just starting
Can't we be the way we were before?

Maybe if we keep pretending
We may have a happy ending
And find we're not pretending anymore
