Make Believe

Only make believe I love you Only make believe that you love me Others find peace of mind in pretending Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss or two or three? Might as well make believe I love you For to tell the truth, I do The game of just supposing is the sweetest game I know Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so That's just an unimportant technicality Though the cold and brutal fact is You and I have never met We need not mind conventions, P's and Q's If we put our thoughts in practice We can banish all regret Imagining most anything we choose We could make believe I love you Only make believe that you love me Others find peace of mind in pretending Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we Make believe our lips are blending In a phantom kiss or two or three? Might as well make believe I love you For to tell the truth, I do --- Make Believe - Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel and Jerome Kern
