Making Believe
Faron Young · Country Standards [EMI] [2004]
Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
But I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, it's all I can do.
I can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe.
--- Instrumental ---
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe...
