When we played our charade We were like children posing Playing at games Acting out names Guessin’ the parts we played. Oh what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on the bill Lovers until … Love left a masquerade Fate seemed to pulI the string I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wing The music box played on Sad little serenade Song of my heart’s composing I hear it still I always will Best on the bill, charade Fate seemed to pull the string I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wing The music box played on and on Sad little serenade Song of my heart’s composing I hear it still Guess I always will Best on the bill, charade!
