GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS
"Pretend"
(Lew Douglas / Frank LaVere / Cliff Parman)

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you will find happiness without an end
If you'll pretend

Remember, anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be a lot
If you'll pretend

[Bridge:]
You'll find the love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes, you'll be there
You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

[Repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line twice]
