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'll pretend

Remember, anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you'll pretend

You'll find the 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
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

You'll find the 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
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
So why don't you pretend?

Come on, so why don't you pretend?
