- Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
Today, on the 49th anniversary of Nat Cole's passing, I'm still pretending just like his great song says.
Reading your note now on his 56th death anniversary !!
His voice and this song brings back happy memories :)
Bob Proctor recommended this song...I'm now here listening to it and I can tell it is a great song♥️🥰🥰🥰👌
Heck yeah he did!
I was born in 90s, and in my country I hardly find someone who loves Jazz music. But Haruki Murakami brought me here. Sensei is my saint of art!
I love this song! So calming, gives me hope and strength to go through difficult moments...
Lovely song from a legend. I'm also loving the Dennis Brown version of this song.
I'm here because Haruki too!!

I've heard this BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL song before, But as i get older i tend to forget. The TV Show "Happy Day's" brought me here, such a fantastic song. Think I'll just replay this song sit here in my livingroom and Pretend.
Nat makes it sound so easy. He was an amazing talent both an incredible singer and an amazing piano player as well.
His speaking voice was almost as mesmerizing. Great syntax.
This is one of the very first songs I remember hearing. I was 3 years old.
NAT KING COLE WAS A GIFT TO MUSIC FROM GOD .

"O pôr do sol já se aproximava e o interior da sala estava escuro como se fosse noite. Acho que a luz não estava acesa. Só o brilho avermelhado do aquecedor a gás reluzia nas paredes. Nat King Cole cantava 'Pretend'. Não entendíamos nada da letra em inglês, é claro. As palavras soavam como um encantamento. Mas gostávamos daquela música e, de tanto escutá-la, conseguíamos imitar a pronúncia das primeiras frases:
Pretend you’re happy when you’re blue
It isn’t very hard to do…"
MURAKAMI, Haruki.
Wonderful memories of the 1950's!
Loved 50
This song is imbedded in my mind/head....i completely forgot I know most of Nat King Cole's songs! Thank you for bringing back the memories...it hurt a lot though 🙇💖

เราเคยฟังด้วยกันเมื่อวันก่อนร้องโดย Breda Lee ไงครับเพลงนี้ใครมาร้องก็เพราะทุกคน เพราะเมโลดี้เขาเพราะมากครับ....
I keep meaning to make a list called "Best Childhood Memories". This one would be very close to the top. :-)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pretend you're happy when you are blue it isn't very hard to do!
Got to hear about this song, when watching a youtube video about a 15 year old African American who got sent to prison when this song was out on the charts 1953 and he got released in 2021, after 68 years....
They say it was a miscarriage of justice, find that a bit hard to belive....... That don't normally happen with African Americans in America.
Nice song too...... A gem
el negro que canta como los dioses me encanta
The writer of the novel: "South of the Border, West of the Sun". In that novel out this song. :)
因為村上春樹來聽的，在五月梅雨綿綿的夜晚，晚安。
para ouvir e sonhar...........
Haruki ❤️Nat
ใช่ค่ะ....เพลงนี้เป็นเพลงโปรดในดวงใจอีกเพลงนึงเลย
They just don't compose, write, arrange, or sing songs like this anymore. We have failed to pass on to following generations wonderful melodies by gifted and talented musicians, and as a consequence have regressed to primitive sounds.
Really? That's nice. I'll check her version out too, thank you :)
Murakami. :)

If you reaally like this song, you definitely should read 'NO ME ESPEREN EN ABRIL' by Bryce Echenique
