| 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.
|
| Your pardon I pray,
|
| 'Twas too much to say
|
| The words that betray my heart.
|
| We only pretend,
|
| You do not offend
|
| In playing a lover’s part.
|
| The game of just supposing
|
| Is the sweetest game I know.
|
| Our dreams are more romantic
|
| Than the world we see
|
| And if the things we dream about
|
| Don’t happen to be so,
|
| That’s just an unimportant technicality.
|
| 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,
|
| We could 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…
|
| Ravenal — the Judge’d like to see you.
|
| What for?
|
| Nothin' serious — but I reckon you’d better come along
|
| And have a talk with him.
|
| You will excuse me, ma’am? |
| I hope I’ll see you again —
|
| In a little while.
|
| Oh, Joe! |
| Did you see that young man I was talkin' to?
|
| Mornin', Miss Nola… Yep — I seed him — seed a lot
|
| Like him on de river —
|
| Oh, Joe, he was such a gentleman! |
| Have you seen Miss Julie?
|
| I got to tell her — I got to ask her what she thinks —
|
| Better ask de ol' river what he thinks — he knows
|
| All 'bout dem boys… he knows all 'bout everythin'… |
