Judy Collins - Let's Pretend lyrics

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 gla**es 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
