Billie Holiday Lyrics

"I Can't Pretend"

I can't pretend
I'm sorry we're apart
I can't pretend
I just can't fool my heart
Though I make mine
My friends all seem to realize
Their smiles, that look in my eye
I can't pretend
I simply can't be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away
Without you dear
I live a lie
I can't defend
I love you
And I can't pretend

Life Begins When You're In Love

It's Like Reaching For The Moon

These Foolish Things

I Cried For You

Did I Remember?

I Can't Pretend

One, Two, Button Your Shoe

Let's Call A Heart A Heart

With Thee I Swing

The Way You Look Tonight
