"Making Believe" is a country music song written by Jimmy Work. Kitty Wells recorded a chart-topping version in 1955. The song is on many lists of all-time greatest country music songs and has been covered by scores of artists over the past fifty years, including Thorleifs, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Don Gibson, Roy Acuff, Lefty Frizzell, Wanda Jackson, Connie Francis, Ray Charles, Anita Carter, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Ernest Tubb, Social Distortion, Skeeter Davis, The Haden Triplets and Volbeat. The song is occasionally called "Makin' Believe".
Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty released a duet version of the song in 1988 and used it as the title track for their final album together. Although the song was not a radio hit for them, it was a popular number at their concerts and the album sold fairly well via television ads.
Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty - Making Believe lyrics
Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
But I'll always dream, still, I'll never own you
Making believe, it's all I can do
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
Making believe that I never lost you
But my happy hours, I find, are so few
My plans for the future will never come true
Making believe, what else can I do?
Can't hold you close when you're not with me
You're somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you and making believe
