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.
You said you couldn't keep me when you were seventeen
Too young to be a father
You kissed my hand and took your leave
And you taught me how to make believe
Make believe I was a gift to you from heaven
Make believe that you would take me as your own
Make believe that you would set the mark of what a man should be
You taught me how to make believe
And now that I've grown older
I long for us to meet
I have a million questions
But most of all I want to see
If all of it was make believe
Another year has come and gone
I am living with your family
And I feel right at home
In the place where I always wanted to be
I'm going out this evening
I check the mirror twice
You stop me on the staircase
You kiss my hand and say that I look beautiful tonight
And I believe I was a gift to you from heaven
And I believe that you would take me as your own
I believe that you set the mark of what a man should be
Now I don't have to make believe
