Why is 'Just Pretend' the first song on Lisa Marie Presley's list of favorite Elvis songs?


Lisa Marie Presley made a 12-song compilation on iTunes of her favorite songs by her father.

Why is "Just Pretend" the first song?

Maybe there is a hint in the lyrics:

Just pretend, I'm holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how it's gonna be,
Just pretend I didn't go
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
I knew it then, I'd be back again
Just pretend I'm right there with you

And I'll come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend

Oh, it's funny but I can't recall the things
We said or why you're crying
But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong here by your side

Seems like daughter wishing her dad was still around.
