When we played our charade We were like children posing Playing at games acting out names Guessing the parts we played Oh what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on the bill lovers until Love left the masquerade Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wings The music box played on Sad little serenade Song of my hearts composing I hear it still I always will Best on the bill charade I hear it still I always will Best on the bill charade
