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
