Nancy Wilson, Cannonball Adderley - The Masquerade is Over lyrics
[Nancy Wilson, Cannonball Adderley - The Masquerade is Over lyrics]
They used to shine
And the thrill is gone when
Your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired
Now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look, you look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not
You're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love and so is love
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, over
And so is love and so is love
It's all over and so is love
