Pretend Lyrics
Alvin Stardust
Lyrics
Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you will find happiness without
An end if you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothin's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be
A lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes you'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes you'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend
So why don't you pretend
So why don't you pretend
