About Making Believe

"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". Singer-songwriter Work released the song as a single in February 1955 on Dot Records, and it reached #5 on Billboard's country music jukebox charts. A month later, singer Kitty Wells released the song as a single which hit #2 on the country charts and remained there for 15 weeks, still a record for a song in the runner-up position on the country Billboard charts. The song was blocked to #1 by the 21-weeks long "In the Jailhouse Now" by Webb Pierce. more »

Making believe 
That you still love me 
It's leaving me alone and so blue 
Still I'll always dream
But 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 
I never lost you 
But my happy hours 
Are far and so few 
My plans for the future 
Will never come true 
Making believe 
What else can I do 

Making believe 
I'll spend my lifetime 
Loving you and making believe
