Make Believe Lyrics

RAVENAL
Only make believe I love you,
Only make believe that you love me.
Others find peace 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

MAGNOLIA
The game of just supposing
Is the sweetest game I know.
Our dreams are more romantic
Than the world we see.

RAVENAL
And if the things we dream about
Don't happen to be so,
That's just an unimportant technicality.

MAGNOLIA
Though the cold and brutal fact is You and I have never met,
We need not mind convention’s P’s and Q’s
If we put our thoughts in practice
We can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose.
We could make believe I love you,
Only make believe that you love me.

RAVENAL
Others find peace of mind in pretending,
Couldn’t you?

MAGNOLIA
Couldn’t I?

MAGNOLIA & RAVENAL
Couldn’t we?

RAVENAL
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three.

MAGNOLIA & RAVENAL
Might as well make believe I love you,
For to tell the truth I do...
