About The Song

Conway Twitty’s “It’s Only Make Believe” is a timeless ballad released in 1958. Penned by Twitty himself and his drummer Jack Nance, the song captures the poignant emotions of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a picture of a man deeply enamored with a woman who seems oblivious to his feelings. He yearns for her love, clinging to the hope that one day she will reciprocate, even as he acknowledges the painful reality that their connection is currently one-sided. With its melancholic melody and heartfelt lyrics, “It’s Only Make Believe” resonated deeply with audiences, becoming a massive hit and securing Twitty’s place in music history. While the song is often associated with country music due to Twitty’s later career, it is essential to note that it was initially a rock and roll number that showcased Twitty’s powerful vocals and emotional range.

People see us everywhere
They think you really care

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My only prayer will be
Someday you’ll care for me
But it’s only make believe

My hopes, my dreams come true
My life I’d give for you
My heart, a wedding ring
My all, my everything

My heart I can’t control
You rule my very soul
My only prayer will be
Someday you’ll care for me
But it’s only make believe

My one and only prayer
Is that some day you’ll care
My hopes, my dreams come true
My one and only you

No one will ever know
How much I love you so
My prayers, my hopes, my schemes
You are my every dream
But it’s only make believe (make believe)
