On a quiet summer day long ago and far away
Two tiny tots their game of play did end
As they gazed into the sky where the lazy clouds go by
The little girl said let's just play pretend

Let's pretend those clouds are islands in the sky
And let's pretend that we?re up there just you and I
Let's pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue
Let's pretend our dreams come true as years go by

Now today as long years fly
Do they wander side by side
And do their dreams into the future wind
Do they still recall the day when she turned to him to say
Darling take my hand and let's pretend

Let's pretend those clouds are islands in the sky
And let's pretend that we're up there just you and I
Let's pretend that no one knew where to find us in the blue
Let's pretend our dreams come true as years go by
