About The Song

In the annals of country music history, few pairings have been as iconic and enduring as that of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. Their voices, as distinctive as they were complementary, blended seamlessly to create a sound that was both powerful and poignant. And among the many gems they produced during their illustrious careers, none shines quite as brightly as “Making Believe”.

Released in 1973, “Making Believe” was an instant hit, topping the country charts for two weeks and reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s success was no surprise, as it captured the hearts of listeners with its heartfelt lyrics and achingly beautiful melody. Penned by Jimmy Work, the song tells the story of a couple clinging to their love despite the odds. They “make believe” that everything is alright, even when their hearts are breaking.

Twitty and Lynn delivered the song with a sincerity that was both heartbreaking and hopeful. Their voices intertwined like two strands of the same thread, creating a tapestry of emotion that was impossible to ignore.

Making believe, that you still love meIt’s leaving me alone and so blueStill I’ll always dream but I’ll never own youMaking believe it’s all I can do.
Can’t hold you close when you’re not with meYou’re somebody’s love you’ll never be mineMaking believe I’ll spend my lifetimeLoving you making believe.
