Lyrics
Down ‘Imagination Lane’
Let us wander once again
I’ll follow you to the end
Till we reach the Land of “Just Pretend”
Then happy we will be
Chorus
Sweet Lady, make believe I’ve won your hand
Sweet Lady, make believe a wedding grand
Oh my! See the parson at the altar
He’ll tie a knot as strong as Gibraltar
Sweet Lady, make believe we’ll build a home
With maybe some additions of our own
If you make it true, I’ll not be grieving
Sweet Lady, must we keep on “make believing?”
