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 |
