"Let's Pretend" lyrics

"Let's Pretend"

I can't sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feeling
That's the way it ought to be
You know we could run away
But I couldn't bear
To hear the things they'd say, oh no

Baby, let's pretend that tonight we'll live forever
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
Baby, let's pretend we could always be together
But for now just let me spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way, I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave or take you home, oh no

Baby, let's pretend that tonight we'll live forever
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
Baby, let's pretend we could always be together
But for now just let me spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way, I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave or take you home, oh no
So take me now, my love can't wait
We're almost there now darling, darling
Hold me, hold me, hold me

Baby, let's pretend that tonight we'll live forever
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
Baby, let's pretend we could always be together
But for now just let me spend the night with you
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way, I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave or take you home, oh no
