Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
If 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't be yours, my friend
So why don't 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't be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
So why don't you pretend?
So why don't you pretend?
