MAKE BELIEVE IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME
B Morrison & J Wilson   1983

The Carpenters   rec 1983


We've tried our hand at love before,
We've been around the game enough to know the score;
But then is then and now is now,
And now is all that matters anyhow!

Make believe it's your first time,
Leave your sadness behind;
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine!

The door is closed, it's you and me,
We'll take our time with love the way it oughta be!
This moment's ours, tonight's the night,
And if we fall in love, well that's alright!

Make believe it's your first time, (just make believe)
Leave your sadness behind; (just make believe)
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine!

So close your eyes and hold me close,
Let our hearts pretend
That loves is ours to share xxxxx,
And it might never end!

Make believe it's your first time,
Leave your sadness behind; (just make believe)
Make believe it's your first time
And I'll make believe it's mine!
