I Pretend - Des O'Connor

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
