It's ok to pretend

[.... on doubts about feelings]

I know that what we feel
cannot be the thing for real
but for a while it will be ok
.... just to close your eyes and pretend

Just pretend that you love me
and enjoy the warmth in your heart
It doesn't matter if it doesn't last
.... just enjoy the feeling while you can.

Life is full of fleeting moments
that come and go before we know
if they're real or just a dream....
So it doesn't matter if it doesn't last
.... just enjoy the feeling while you can.

And if the dream should last a while
.... just accept it with a smile
...... pretend that you love me
and enjoy the warmth in your heart.
