Let's Pretend
Judy Collins

The party was over, it was nearly a quarter to two

Hearing your voice was the last thing I thought I would do

Seeing your face brought the pain back again just like new

Now I'm right back where I was, I am lost without you


I stood in a daze as you put your hand gently in mine

Once again lost in the look of your love so divine

I know you don't mean it but tell me you love me again

I know we are over but wrap me in lies that don't end


I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears

Let's make the best of those bittersweet years


Let's pretend

We are lovers again

Let's pretend

Our romance didn't end


I'll play my part

I won't ask you for more

Won't pull you back

When you walk out the door


Just let me love you

For one hour more

Let's pretend

We are lovers again


I know that I will go home without you tonight

I know there's nothing that I could do now to make it right

Still I could dream that you never had walked out my door

Still I could dream all my life if you kiss me once more


I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears

Let's make the best of those bittersweet years


Let's pretend

We are lovers again

Let's pretend

Our affair didn't end


I'll play my part


I won't ask you for more

Won't pull you back

When you walk out the door


Just let me love you

For one hour more

Let's pretend

We are lovers again


Everyone's left for the night

The glasses are empty

No one will see us, I know

No one will know that I can't let you go


I've got to learn to let go and you must teach me how

I love your arms wrapped around me like this even now

Maybe if you give me just one more kiss


I'll learn it's something I really don't miss

I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears

Let's make the most of those bittersweet years


Let's pretend

We are lovers again

Let's pretend

Our romance didn't end


I'll slip away in the night without you

But I'll have something to comfort me too just for old times

Kiss me once before the night ends

Let's pretend we are lovers again


Let's pretend

We are lovers again

Let's pretend

We are lovers again

Let's pretend

We are lovers again
