LET'S JUST PRETEND
Matt dennis (m) Thonas M Adair (l) 1941

as rec by Jo Stafford


Let's imagine, dear, that you and I have travelled
To a far off place, we'll call it "Rainbow's End",
Where the cares of daily life are all unravelled;
Let's just pretend!

We will hitch our magic carpet to a cloud, dear,
Then we'll watch the flaming sunset colours blend,
And we'll dream a bit, for dreamin' is allowed, dear,
Let's just pretend!

I will be a princess in an ivory tower,
Just as in the story books you know.
You will be my prince, if only for an hour,
Let's pretend and it will all be so!

Now this land's no far-off planet in the sky, dear,
And our love will guide us to the journey's end.
We can be there in the twinkling of an eye, dear,
Let's just pretend!

I will be a princess in an ivory tower,
Just as in the story books you know.
You will be my prince, if only for an hour,
Let's pretend and it will all be so!

Now this land's no far-off planet in the sky, dear,
And our love will guide us to the journey's end.
We can be there in the twinkling of an eye, dear,
Let's just pretend!
