[Chorus]
Why don't we make believe we're in love again
Who said the crimson moon doesn't shine
Where do people go when they're lookin' for that one of a kind

Why don't we make believe that we're sorry
Why must we hold it all inside
Where do lovers go when they're runnin' and there's no place to hide

Always remember - the day we met in the foreign rain
You were content and - we went our separate ways
No matter which way the wind blows now, hang on to it anyhow
Don't ever say it could never be the same

[Chorus]

Always remember - holding hands on a summer day
You were content ob das stimmt?? and - you took it all away
I didn't come here to change your mind, lead you on and waste your time
All alone in the evening, gettin' blue

Why don't we make believe

[Chorus]

Why don't we make believe, why don't we make believe
