The Masquerade Is Over

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 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
Bridge

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, you re not the same"

I m afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love
