I Pretend

[Verse 1: Sandy Stewart]

Someone's son, someone's man

Someone's inspiration, someone's friend

I depend on sleep to take me to you once again

And if I don't wake up to see

You standing here in front of me

[Chorus: Sandy Stewart]

A dream won't die, a love won't end

'Cause you're forever mine

When I pretend

[Verse 2: Stevie Nicks]

The faithful listen to your every word

I've followed for years and I've seen and heard

Learned and laughed

Idle nights with melodies and photographs

But if I realize someday

You're unaware, so far away

[Chorus: Stevie Nicks]

A dream won't die, and a love won't end

'Cause you're forever mine

When I pretend

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Sandy Stewart & Stevie Nicks, Sandy Stewart]

Ooh, and when you're old with time's demand

You can be my teacher, I'll be your hands

Play the part

Stop for nothing but to have you hold me

Precious heart, oh-oh

If I accept what cannot be

(Don't stop believin')

No longer count on destiny

[Chorus: Sandy Stewart & Stevie Nicks, Stevie Nicks]

A dream won't die, a love won't end

'Cause you're forever mine

When I pretend, ooh-ooh, ooh

You're forever mine
