Loves Game of Lets Pretend

Your ribbon in the summer breeze entwined in curls of gold
And the robin red breasts voice did sweetly blend
With a little schoolmate choir as they sang 'Oh Promise Me'
When I wed you in loves game of lets pretend
The kid next door was parson and the church was make believe
For a wedding ring a hairpin I did bend
And while flowers along the wayside was my childhood brides bouquet
When we married in loves game of lets pretend
Break (steel - fiddle)
Little did I think that day that somewhere along lifes way
That the game of lets pretend again wed start
But you cheated in the game and you drew anothers name
Then the hand of fate dealt me a broken heart
On a pillow wet with tears Ill keep dreaming through the years
So forever let me be your closest friend
Though each vow you cast away you were mine in childhood days
When I wed you in loves game of lets pretend
