Make believe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are times when you feel sad and blue
Something's wrong, you don't know what to do
When you feel that way, stop and think awhile
Just make believe and smile
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe
When your dearest friends have turned away
And blue skies above have turned to gray
Don't worry for it may not all be true
Here's my advice to you
Make believe you are glad when you're sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won't be long
Soon they'll be right again
Tho' your love dreams have gone, make believe, don't let on
Smile tho' your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs, you will find good luck starts
Don't grieve, just make believe
