(Ferry/Mackay)

|
Well this is such
|
A sad affair
|
I've opened up my heart
|
Oh so many times
|
But now it's closed
|
|
Oh my dear
|
Every salted tear
|
It wrings
|
Bitter - sweet applause
|
|
But when the show's in full swing
|
Every once in a while
|
High stepping chorus lines
|
Mean I'm forgetting
|
Mein lullaby - liebchen
|
|
How rich in contrast
|
Love can be
|
Sometimes I'm quite amused
|
To see it twist and turn
|
To taste - both sweet and dry
|
|
These vintage years!
|
Lovers you consume, my friend
|
As others their wine
|
|
Nein - das ist nicht
|
Das ende der welt
|
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
|
Und das spiel geht weiter
|
Wie man weiss
|
Noch viele schoenste...wiedershen
|
|
And now, as you turn to leave
|
You try to force a smile -
|
As if to compensate -
|
Then you break down and cry
|
|

Bitter - Sweet
