The Portrait

let's paint a portrait
you and I
using no colors from yesterday
working only with what we have today
no future, no past,
no promises, no returns

just for a little while
let our thoughts run wild
imagine the possiblities
flights of fantasy

just for tonight
let's pretend,
pretend you care,
and that I don't
live in the moment

lets pretend,
pretend we've never been hurt,
we've never loved and lost
just for tonight let's make believe

the cold gray dawn
of tomorrow will come soon enough
for just one moment
let's pretend...
