老歌亂談(935)Making Believe
此首《Making Believe》為鄉村歌手Jimmy Work所寫，1955由自己錄唱發行，於鄉村榜獲得第5名。而在一個多月後，鄉村女歌手Kitty Wells亦發行此單曲，成績反而超越了原唱Work，得到了第2名。
當一段愛情結束後，一方卻不願面對這樣的事實，雖然知道目前愛人是和別人在一起，但仍沉湎在自己的幻想裡，幻想對方仍是愛著自己，也願終生執愛對方 ( 期盼對方有一天會回頭？)。從另一角度來看，維持著這樣的感情人生似乎也不錯---有夢最美，希望相隨，但最後恐仍是一場空。

影片中替Emmylou Harris合音的是英籍吉他手Albert Lee，時任Harris樂隊的成員。在前兩篇的「亂談」- I Feel In Love的影音中，也可見Albert Lee彈吉他間奏的身影。
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
