Lyrics The Raspberries

The Raspberries

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 (run, run) away

But I couldn't bear

To hear the things they'd say, oh no

Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever

If we close our eyes and believe it might come true

Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live]

together

But for now just let me spend the night with you

Somehow, someday

Things are gonna be so different

Don't cry, someway

I promise it'll be allright

So now that we're all alone

I couldn't bear

To leave to take you home, oh no

So take me now

My love can't wait

We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'

Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)

Ho-oh-old me
