Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
|
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
|
|
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
|
And so is love, my darling and so is love
|
|
Your words don't mean what they used to me
|
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
|
|
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
|
And so is love, my darling and so is love
|
|
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
|
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
|
You look the same
|
You're a lot the same
|
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
|
|
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
|
And so is love, and so is love
|
So is love, the masquerade is over
|
So is love
|
