Love's Game of Let's Pretend

Your ribbon in the summer breeze entwined in curls of gold And the robin red breast's voice did sweetly blend With a little schoolmate choir as they sang oh promise me When I wed you in love's game of let's pretend The kid next door was parson and the church was make believe For a wedding ring a hairpin I did bend And while flowers along the wayside was my childhood bride's bouquet When we married in love's game of let's pretend Little did I think that day that somewhere along life's way That the game of let's pretend again we'd start But you cheated in the game and you drew another's name Then the hand of fate dealt me a broken heart On a pillow wet with tears I'll keep dreaming through the years So forever let me be your closest friend Though each vow you cast away you were mine in childhood days When I wed you in love's game of let's pretend
