Intro:

Verse 1

Remember all the dreams you wished for
And hoping they would all come true
Nothing seemed to far to reach for
And the sky was always turning blue

Every day was filled with new surprises
And the sun was always shining through
But you knew that nothing lasts forever
And it left you feeling sad and blue

Chorus I

Just pretend to be happy
Don't let the world see you cry
Though it hurts deep inside you
No one has to know why
And the heartaches you're feeling
Soon will be on their way

Just pretend to be happy
And you will be some day

Verse 2

At time(s) life can be just a gamble
We play out all the hands we're dealt
Knowing how luck can be fickle
Our hearts did the best that they had felt

It is better to have taken chances
For life can be just a crazy game
Even if you don't get what you wished for
There will be another chance some day

Chorus II

Just pretend to be happy
Don't let the world see your tears
Thought it hurts deep inside you
Make-believe you don't care

And the heartaches you're feeling
Soon will be on their way
Just pretend to be happy
And you will be someday

Coda:

When it seems things won't work out
Don't have any doubts
Your dreams will all come true one day

Fine


I liked the old school feel of the sing.I would say it is more Jazz than country.It had a nice movie or film quality to it, I could see it in a play also.It needs a few tweaks instrumentally.Perhaps a speed faster.Good song over all.

Really nice melodic tune. Love the progression and the nice lilt of the arrangement. Love the dynamics of the production and the slight retard at the end
