Make Believe

Spare us a few minutes before the hour
Something must be said for a song
From what was undoubtedly Jerome Kern’s
Most memorable score
It’s you and I, sweetie, with the one of the loveliest songs
In that show, show boat
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
All that fine piece of mind in pretending
Couldn’t you, couldn’t I, couldn’t we?
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two or three
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell truth, I do
