I Pretend
 

Written by S. Stewart; Sung by S. Stewart and S. Nicks

[Sandy in yellow; Stevie in light blue; Together in green]

Someone's son, someone's man Someone's inspiration, someone's friend I depend on sleep to take me to you once again And if I don't wake up to see You standing here in front of me A dream won't die, a love won't end 'Cause you're forever mine When I pretend The faithful listen to your every word I've followed for years and I've seen and heard Learned and laughed Idle nights with melodies and photographs But if I realize someday You're unaware, so far away A dream won't die and a love won't end 'Cause you're forever mine When I pretend And when you're old with time's demands You can be my teacher, I'll be your hands Play the part Stop for nothing but to have you hold me Precious heart If I accept what cannot be (Don't stop believing) No longer count on destiny A dream won't die, a love won't end 'Cause you're forever mine When I pretend You're forever mine

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Stevie takes a prominent role in this song, going back and forth with Sandy on the lead vocals. This song about unrequited love is one of the more interesting on the album.
