I PRETEND
Des O'Connor - 1968


Sitting here so lonely in the firelight 
Listening for a footstep on the stairs 
All I have to talk to is the moonlight 
Shining on an empty chair 

So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me 
Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see 
As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be 
One day our love must end 
Till then I'll just pretend 

Something made her change, what could it be now 
Wish I knew exactly what I'd done 
If there's someone else I'll set you free now 
Guess I've lost and he has won 

So I'll pretend, your loving arms are reaching out for me 
Yes I'll pretend, and though my eyes are closed I still can see 
As I pretend, the world is new and like it used to be 
One day our love must end 
Till then I'll just pretend 
One day our love must end 
Till then I'll just pretend
