Lyrics The Greatest Performance Of My Life - Nancy Wilson

The Greatest 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
