Just pretend I'm hugging you And whispering things real soft and low And think of me, what it would be Just pretend I didn't leave When I left, I heard you say If you need me, you you know what to do I knew then and there I'd come back again Just pretend I'm with you And I'll fly back to you, oh yeah All this crying is for real Oh I'll hold you and love you again But until then , we'll just pretend. Oh it's funny but I can't remember the things we said or why we were crying But now I know I was wrong to leave My place is here by your side! And I'll fly back to you, oh yeah All this crying is for real Oh I'll hold you and love you again But until then, we'll just pretend.
