lets pretend

a man still in love with the one he lost

I know you loved me

a long time ago

but I know its him

tonight you hold

 

when you close your eyes

let it be me that you see

pretend your still in love

with me

 

and when you kiss

and hold him tight

pretend its me your with tonight

 

my heart wont let you go

I still pretend that you

love me so

 

when I go to bed

with her tonight I will

pretend its you im holding tight

 

I still love you

I want you to know

my heart just wont let go

 

so tonight

it will be you I see

when shes making love

to me...

I used to watch the opry with my grand ma every Saturday but I really don`t like country music that much just a few songs

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

I only watched it for Box car Willie he was my favorite not big on country I do like some of it but only my favorites I am picky about music I listen to a lot of Christian music and Classic music like Mozart and Beethoven and many others I love Ray Lynch beautiful music very soothing. :)

I like 70.s and 80. s music I write a lot of Christian poetry I have one posted here how do you say thank you most Christian musicians today is just in it for the money ,I like the older music we worked in a church a couple years ago the choir was practicing and the director told them to stop singing and to start mumbling as if they was speaking in tongues most tv Christian programs are crooks

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

very true I am picky about any music I listen to but not all Christian singers are that way they're not all in it for the money many I listen to also preach and share the word there is true ones and just the pretenders I like 70's and 80's and older gospel also :)

Indeed, let's pretend, a most satirical and cheeky piece, well done, good read.
