The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On - Dinah Washington

Pardon me but I just got the news

He told me it's over

And it breaks my heart to lose

But the show must go on

The show must go on so they tell me

Oh now here I stand

There's my cue to begin

But who feels like singing

In the groove that I'm in

Still the show must go on

The show must go on

And I'll carry on somehow

Though the setting's perfect

And the music is right

I can see it's gonna be a tough show tonight

I'll sing about the heartaches

A broken love can be

But they mustn't know

That it just happened to me

So dim the lights

And I'll turn on my charms

I'll try to imagine

That he's still in my arms

'Cause the show must go on

The show must go on

The show must go on

Tonight
