Pretend you're happy when you're blue It isn't very hard to do And you will find happiness without An end if you pretend Remember anyone can dream And nothin'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 your own Just close your eyes you'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 You'll find a love you can share One you can call your own Just close your eyes you'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 So why don't you pretend So why don't you pretend So why don't you pretend
