Conway Twitty “It’s Only Make Believe” Lyrics
People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can’t deceive
I know it’s only make believe
My one and only prayer is that some day you’ll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you’ll care for me
But it’s o-only make believe.
My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I’d give for you,
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can’t control, you rule my very soul,
My only prayer will be someday you’ll care for me
But it’s o-only make believe.
My one and only prayer, is that some day you’ll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My prayers, my hopes, my schemes, you are my every dream
But it’s o-only make believe (Make believe)
