Showboat movie - Make Believe lyrics

rate me

<br>

Only make believe I love you,<br>

Only make believe that you love me.<br>

Others find peace of mind in pretending,<br>

Couldn't you?<br>

Couldn't I?<br>

Couldn't we?<br>

Make believe our lips are blending<br>

In a phantom kiss, or two, or three.<br>

Might as well make believe I love you,<br>

For to tell the truth I do<br>

<br>

Your pardon I pray<br>

'Twas too much to say<br>

The words that betray my heart.<br>

<br>

We only pretend<br>

You do not offend<br>

In playing a lover's part.<br>

The game of just supposing<br>

Is the sweetest game I know.<br>

Our dreams are more romantic<br>

Than the world we see.<br>

<br>

And if the things we dream about<br>

Don't happen to be so,<br>

That's just an unimportant technicality.<br>

<br>

Though the cold and brutal fact is<br>

You and I have never met,<br>

We need not mind convention's P's and Q's<br>

If we put our thoughts in practice<br>

We can banish all regret<br>

Imagining most anything we choose.<br>

<br>

Only make believe I love you,<br>

Only make believe that you love me.<br>

Others find peace of mind in pretending,<br>

Couldn't you?<br>

Couldn't I?<br>

Couldn't we?<br>

Make believe our lips are blending<br>

In a phantom kiss, or two, or three.<br>

Might as well make believe I love you,<br>

For to tell the truth I do<br>

<br>
