Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
& you will find happiness without an end if you'll pretend

Remember, anyone can dream
& nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could mean a lot if you'll pretend

Bridge:
You'll find the love you can share
& you can call your own
Just close your eyes, it be there
You'll never be alone

& if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
