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

Yes, 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
