The Performance Of My Life |
| Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life |
| I never lost control, I played the part so well |
| That not a single soul could tell that I was lying |
| And so |
| though it was hard to face our friends I gave a party |
| I know |
| I meant to show them all I’ve gotten over you |
| And though |
| I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces |
| I had to try to make them think that it was true |
| So I |
| who had me dance, dance through the night, just like a gypsy |
| And I |
| who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was high |
| And I |
| who hadn’t laughed since God knows when, outlaughed Pagliacci |
| Till they |
| believed it more than even I |
| Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life |
| I never lost control, I played the part so well |
| That not a single soul could tell that I was lying |
| But love |
| if you had been behind the curtain when it fell |
| When all the lights were out and I was all alone |
| You would have seen |
| this actress crying |
| Yes, tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life |
| I never lost control, I played the part so well |
| That not a single soul could tell that I was lying |
| But love |
| if you had been behind the curtain when it fell |
| When all the lights were out and I was all alone |
| You would have seen |
| this actress crying |
