Emmylou Harris Lyrics - Making Believe lyrics
Making believe
That you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
Still I'll always dream
But I'll never own you
Making believe
It's all I can do
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
Making believe
I never lost you
But my happy hours
Are far and so few
My plans for the future
Will never come true
Making believe
What else can I do
Making believe
I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
