Song lyrics to I’m Making Believe (1944), music by James V. Monaco, lyrics by Mack Gordon
“I’m Making Believe” first appeared in the film Sweet and Low-Down; the performance by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
I’m making believe that you’re in my arms
Though I know you’re so far away
Making believe I’m talkin’ to you
Wish you could hear what I say.
And here in the gloom of my lonely room
We’re dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreaming
So ’til my dreams come true
I’ll whisper “Good night”
Turn out the light and kiss my pillow
Making believe it’s you
It’s you
