Let's Pretend Lyrics - Judy Collins

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 

Photos 

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
