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 ' ll pretend

Remember anyone can dream

And nothing ' s bad as it may seem

The little things you haven ' t got could be

A lot if you ' ll pretend

You ' ll find the 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

Well what ' s mine it can be yours my friend

So why don ' t you pretend

You ' ll find the 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

Well what ' s mine it can be yours my friend

So why don ' t you pretend

So why don ' t you pretend

Come on so why don ' t you pretend
