Making Believe You're Here

You may be miles and miles away

But still you're with me everyday

The miles just seem to disappear

Making believe you're here.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

(1902)

Marcus Stone

(1840-1921)

English painter

Each night when I sit down to dine

You're in the chair across from mine

Your smile erases every tear

Making believe you're here.

The photograph

You tore in half

Is back in the frame again

But once a heart

Is torn apart

It's never the same again.

This lonely dream I'm clinging to

Is not at all like holding you

And yet it's all that I can do

Until you do appear

I've got to make believe

You're here.

The photograph

You tore in half

Is back in the frame again

But once a heart

Is torn apart

It's never the same again.

This lonely dream I'm clinging to

Is not at all like holding you

And yet it's all that I can do

Until you do appear

I've got to make believe

You're here.
