Sitting here so lonely

in the firelight

listening for a footstep

on the stairs

All I have to talk to

is the moonlight

shining on an empty chair

So, I'll pretend

your loving arms

are reaching out for me

Yes, I'll pretend

and though

my eyes are closed

I still can see

As I... pretend

the world is new

and like it used to be

one day our love must end

'til then I'll just pretend

Something made her change

what could it be now

wish I knew exactly

what I'd done

If there's someone else

I'll set you free now

guess I've lost

and he has won

So, I'll pretend

your loving arms

are reaching out for me

Yes, I'll pretend

and though

my eyes are closed

I still can see

As I... pretend

the world is new

and like it used to be

one day our love must end

'til then I'll just pretend

One day our love must end

'til then I'll just pretend...
