The Masquerade Is Over

The Masquerade Is Over - Carmen McRae

Your eyes don't shine like 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 me

They were once inspired

Now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over 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 the same

But you're a lot the same

My heart says "no no you're not the same"

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 the same

You're a lot the same

But my heart says "no no no no 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

And so is love and so is love

And so is love and so is love

And so is love yeah
