Make Believe
Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein II
Frankie: Janie <Jane Powell>, spare us a few minutes before the hour. Something must be said for a
song, from what was undoubtedly Jerome Kern's most memorable score. It's you and I, sweetie, with the
one of the loveliest songs in that show, Show Boat.
Frankie: We could make believe I love you, only make believe that you love me.
Janie: All that fine piece of mind in pretending, couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we?
Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three,
Janie: Might as well make believe I love you, for to tell the truth, I do.

Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three.
