PRETEND

I BEEN SITTING IN MY ROOM TOO LONG
WONDERING HOW THE FRESH AIR FEELS
TRYING TO WRITE A SONG ABOUT LOVING YOU
BUT WORDS DON' T SEEM TO RHYME

RAINDROPS DRIPPING ON THE WINDOW SILL
HONEYDEW IN THE PINE
WILD GEESE FLYING CROSS THE RIVER BED
NOW OUTSIDES GOT MY MIND

OPEN UP YOUR EYES SO YOU SEE THE WIND
LET YOUR SMILE CRACK A GRIN
YOU CAN WALK ON RAINBOWS
AND SEE ANGELS TOES
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PRETEND

NOW OLD MAN WALKING DOWN THE MUDDY ROAD
MESQUITE TREES BENT TO SAY HI
LOVE BIRDS NESTING IN THE HOLLOW TREE
THE SUN'S A'BEGGING TO SHINE

SUNSHINE WAKES THE SLEEPY SKY
IT'S BEEN RESTING ALL DAY
BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER TO THE MEADOW TO GRAZE
DEVIL'S AND CHILDREN PLAY

OPEN UP YOUR EYES SO YOU SEE THE WIND
LET YOUR SMILE CRACK A GRIN
YOU CAN WALK ON RAINBOWS
AND SEE ANGELS TOES
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PRETEND
