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
