But Until Then - Lyric

Moonlight's soft glow Through window pane I feel the emotions drain Just hold my hand Pretend you care Feel my embrace If you so dare Let love take it's last stand Chorus And so we pretend To be lovers and friends We know it's too late To let our hearts dictate When tomorrow comes Heartbreaks will strum But until then let's just pretend That love's still alive With tales we contrive And when it's all done I'll pack up my tears And throw away the years And heartache will grow In moonlight's soft glow Chorus And so we pretend To be lovers and friends We know it's too late To let our hearts dictate When tomorrow comes Heartbreaks will strum 6-21-2020 Songwriter's Challenge Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton Based on Bonnie Raitt's song: "I Can't Make You Love Me (If You Don't)

So many wonderful images, Joseph "heartbreaks will strum." This is sad and melancholy and pensive all at the same time - a wish left hanging in the air. Congratulations on your winning placement. All the best.
