Pretend you´re happy when you´re blue 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?
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?
