Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making believe I'm talking to you, wish you could hear what I say
And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreaming, so till my dreams come true
I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you
I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away
And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true
I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you
And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true
I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

The Inks Spots by themselves and then featuring Ella Fitzgerald. Jesus Christ don't put all the golden eggs in one basket. What a gem of a song.

Must you take the Lord's name in vain? Some day you will answer to Him. I just hope you come to your senses in time. Yes, it is a gem of a song.
