When we play our charade

We were like children posing

Playing at games

Acting out names

Guessing the parts we play



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 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 strings 

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

GuessI always will

Best on the bill

Charade
