LET'S PRETEND
SONS OF THE PIONEERS
Writer: Bob Nolan

On a quiet summer day
Long ago and far away
Two tiny tots their happy play did end
As they gazed into the sky
Where the lazy clouds rolled by
The little girl said
Let's just play pretend

CHORUS
LET'S PRETEND
Those clouds are islands in the sky
And LET'S PRETEND
We're way up there, just you and I
LET'S PRETEND that no one knew
Where to find us in the blue
LET'S PRETEND this dream comes true
As years roll by

Now today, as swift years glide
Do they wander side by side
And does the trail into their dreamland wend
Do they still recall the day
That she turned to him to say
Darlin', take my hand and let's pretend

CHORUS

Thanks Gene, I'll confess that I don't know this one; when I saw the title of the thread, I thought you were offering the lyrics of the old (early 70's) Raspberries song by the same name. "Baby let's pretend that we'll always be together/If we close our eyes and believe, it might come true". A guilty pop-radio pleasure from my youth, which I played with a rock'n'roll band when I was in my teens. But the Sons of the Pioneers are a much better fit on this forum -- thanks again for the contribution.

I was thinking "Make Believe" from Showboat.
