paroles de chanson Make Believe - Jerome Kern

Only make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we?
Make believe our lips are blendin'
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to the tell the truth
I do

Your pardon, I pray
'Twas too much to say
The words that betray my heart

We only pretend
You do not offend
In playing a lover's part
The game of just supposing
Is the sweetest game I know
Our dreams are more romantic
Than the world we see

And if the things we dream about
Don't happen to be so
That's just an unimportant technicality

Though the cold and brutal fact is
You and I have never met
We need not mind conventions, Ps and Qs

If we put our thoughts in practice
We can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose

We could make believe I love you
We could make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I?
Couldn't we?

Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss
Or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth
I do
