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 always will best on the bill charade
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 always will best on the bill charade
