Make Believe (from "Show Boat") - Barbara Cook (Barbara Cook)/John Raitt

Only make believe I love you

Only make believe that you love me

Others find peace of mind in pretending

Couldn't you

Couldn't I

Couldn't we

Make believe our lips are blending

In a phantom kiss

Or two or three

Might as well make believe I love you

For to tell the truth I do

Your pardon I pray

'Twas too much to say

The words that betray my heart

We only pretend

You do not offend

In playing a lover's part

The game of just supposing

Is the sweetest game I know

Our dreams are more romantic

Than the world we see

And if the things we dream about

Don't happen to be so

That's just an unimportant technicality

We could make believe I love you

We could make believe that you love me

Others find peace of mind in pretending

Couldn't you

Couldn't I

Couldn't we

Make believe our lips are blending

In a phantom kiss

Or two or three

Might as well make believe I love you

For to tell the truth I do
