Let's Pretend lyrics - Eric Carmen

I can't sleep nights

Wishing you were here beside me

Can't help feeling

That's way it ought to be

You know we could run (run, run) away

And 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 be together

But for now just let me

Spend the night with you

Somehow, someday

Things are gonna be so different

Don't cry

Some way

I promise it will be all right

So now that we're all alone

I couldn't bear

To ever take you home

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 live together

But for now just let me

Spend the night with you

So take me now

My love can't wait

We're almost there now darlin'

Darlin' hold me, hold me

Hold me

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 live together

But for now just let me

Spend the night with you
