Pretend you’re happy when you’re blue
It isn’t very hard to do
And you will find a happiness without an end
If you’ll 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’ll pretend
You’ll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she’ll be there
You’ll never be alone
And if you sing this melody If you sing this melody
You’ll be pretending just like me
You’ll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don’t you pretend
And if you sing this melody
If you sing this melody
You’ll be pretending just like me
You’ll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don’t you pretend
