| 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, and on, and on
|
| Sad little serenade
|
| Song of my heart’s composing;
|
| I hear it still, I always will
|
| Best on the bill… Charade
