The party was over, it was nearly a quarter to two
|
Hearing your voice was the last thing I thought I would do
|
Seeing your face brought the pain back again just like new
|
Now I'm right back where I was, I am lost without you
|
|
I stood in a daze as you put your hand gently in mine
|
Once again lost in the look of your love so divine
|
I know you don't mean it but tell me you love me again
|
I know we are over but wrap me in lies that don't end
|
|
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
|
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
|
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
Let's pretend
|
Our romance didn't end
|
|
I'll play my part
|
I won't ask you for more
|
Won't pull you back
|
When you walk out the door
|
|
Just let me love you
|
For one hour more
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
|
I know that I will go home without you tonight
|
I know there's nothing that I could do now to make it right
|
Still I could dream that you never had walked out my door
|
Still I could dream all my life if you kiss me once more
|
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
|
Let's make the best of those bittersweet years
|
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
Let's pretend
|
Our affair didn't end
|
|
I'll play my part
|
I won't ask you for more
|
Won't pull you back
|
When you walk out the door
|
|
Just let me love you
|
For one hour more
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
|
Everyone's left for the night
|
The glasses are empty
|
No one will see us, I know
|
No one will know that I can't let you go
|
|
I've got to learn to let go and you must teach me how
|
I love your arms wrapped around me like this even now
|
Maybe if you give me just one more kiss
|
|
I'll learn it's something I really don't miss
|
I'll close my eyes so you won't see the tears
|
Let's make the most of those bittersweet years
|
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
Let's pretend
|
Our romance didn't end
|
|
I'll slip away in the night without you
|
But I'll have something to comfort me too just for old times
|
Kiss me once before the night ends
|
Let's pretend we are lovers again
|
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
Let's pretend
|
We are lovers again
|
