Can We Pretend

Bill Withers

'Justments, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Can we pretend
That from now on
There is no yesterday?
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
There's a light that shines in your face sometimes
That takes my feelings, wraps them around your knee
But there's a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and gay
There's a light that shines in your face sometimes
That takes my feelings, wraps them around your knee
But there's a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
Can we pretend?
Can we pretend?
Can we pretend?
Can we pretend?
