Charade

When we played our charade

We were like children posing

Playing at games

Acting out names

Guessin’ the parts we played.

Oh what a hit we made

We came on next to closing

Best on the bill

Lovers until …

Love left a masquerade

Fate seemed to pulI the string

I turned and you were gone

While from the darkened wing

The music box played on

Sad little serenade

Song of my heart’s composing

I hear it still

I always will

Best on the bill, charade

Fate seemed to pull the string

I turned and you were gone

While from the darkened wing

The music box played on and on

Sad little serenade

Song of my heart’s composing

I hear it still

Guess I always will

Best on the bill, charade!
