Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs - I'll Just Pretend Lyrics

You spurned the love I gave you, darling
A love you once was proud to own
You found someone whom you love better
And in my dreams I walk alone

I'll just pretend that I don't love you
I'll just pretend that I don't care
And when I meet you face to face, dear
I'll turn my head, I'll just pretend

Those happy hours we spent together
Forever in my heart will live
That's all I have for each tomorrow
For we will never meet again

I'll just pretend that I don't love you
I'll just pretend that I don't care
And when I meet you face to face, dear
I'll turn my head, I'll just pretend

I'll try my best to forget you
To love you now is such a sin
And as I'm facing all my fears, dear
They'll understand I won't pretend
