Shirley Bassey - 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 the gypsy
And I who seldom drink, drank like
A fish till I was high, and I
Who hadn't laughed since God knows when
Out laughed 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
