Nancy Wilson - The Greatest Performance of My Life lyrics

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
