Make Believe lyrics

You said you couldn't keep me when you were seventeen Too young to be a fatherYou kissed my hand and took your leave And you taught me how to make believeMake believe I was a gift to you from heavenMake believe that you would take me as your ownMake believe that you would set the mark of what a man should beYou taught me how to make believeAnd now that I've grown olderI long for us to meetI have a million questionsBut most of all I want to see If all of it was make believeAnother year has come and goneI am living with your familyAnd I feel right at home In the place where I always wanted to beI'm going out this eveningI check the mirror twiceYou stop me on the staircaseYou kiss my hand and say that I look beautiful tonightAnd I believe I was a gift to you from heavenAnd I believe that you would take me as your ownI believe that you set the mark of what a man should be Now I don't have to make believe
