I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away Making believe I'm talking to you, wish you could hear what I say And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do Making believe is just another way of dreaming, so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow Making believe it's you I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away Making believe I'm talkin' to you, wish you could hear what I say And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow Making believe it's you And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow Making believe it's you
