Let's Pretend                                                                                                   

Let's pretend that you and I

Love each other - “true as true”-

It's a joyous game to try, --

Let's pretend!

I'll be lover-like, and you-

You'll return me sigh for sigh,

Kiss for kiss, -- as sweethearts do, --

Let's pretend!

If we find, as time slips by,

That our play's in earnest too,

All the better.  Meanwhile why

Let's pretend!
