Nat King Cole lyrics : "Pretend"
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you 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 pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
2) Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh,
"Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love,
God speed your love to me!
3) Oh no! Over night there's been a breathless change in you
Chorus Verse:
Oh Gigi! While you were trembling on the brink
was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
Oh Gigi! Have I been standing up too close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire?
And your warmth become desire?
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?
Gigi! (3x)
Oh no! I was mad not to have seen the change in you
Oh Gigi!
4) Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you, you think some day she'll come
to you
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
She has you dancin' on a string, break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other!
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise!
Will you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or am I not seein' things too clear
Are you just too far gone to hear
Is it all goin' in one ear and out the other!
