Let's Pretend

I can't sleep nights
 wishing you were here beside me
 can't help feeling
 that's the way it ought to be
 you know we could run away
 But i couldn't bear
 to hear the things they'd say, oh no
 *chorus:
 baby let's pretend that tonight we'll live forever
 if we close our eyes and believe it might come true
 baby let's pretend we could always be together
 but for now just let me spend the night with you
 somehow, someday
 things are gonna be so different
 don't cry, some way, I promise it'll be alright
 so now that we're all alone
 i couldn't bear to leave or take you home, oh no
 *chorus*
 so take me now, my love can't wait
 we're almost there now darling, darling
 hold me, hold me, hold me
 *repeat chorus*
