Let’s Pretend
Let’s pretend those clouds are islands in the sky.
And let’s pretend we’re way up there, just you and I.
Let’s pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue.
Let’s pretend this dream comes true as years roll by.”
On a quiet summer day long ago and far away,
Two tiny tots their happy play did end.
As they gazed into the sky where the lazy clouds go by,
The little girl said, “Let’s just play ‘pretend’.
Let’s pretend those clouds are islands in the sky.
And let’s pretend we’re way up there, just you and I.
Let’s pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue.
Let’s pretend this dream comes true as years roll by.”
Now today, as swift years glide, do they wander side by side?
And does a trail into their dreamland wend?
Do they still recall the day that she turned to him to say,
“Darling, take my hand and let’s pretend.”
Let’s pretend those clouds are islands in the sky.
And let’s pretend we’re way up there, just you and I.
Let’s pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue.
Let’s pretend this dream comes true as years roll by.”
