Lyrics
- There are times when you feel sad and blue
Something’s wrong you don’t know what to do
When you feel that way stop and think awhile
Just make believe and smile
Chorus
Make believe you are glad when you’re sorry
Sunshine will follow the rain
When things go wrong, it won’t be long
Soon they’ll be right again
Though your love dreams have gone
Make believe, don’t let on
Smile though your heart may be broken
For when bad luck departs
You will find good luck starts
Don’t grieve, just make believe
- When your dearest friends have turned away
And blue skies above have turned gray
Don’t worry for it may not all be true
Here’s my advice to you
