The Masquerade Is Over - Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley

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

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And get myself a clown's disguise

And then I'll learn to laugh like Pagliacci

With tears in my eyes

You look you look the same

You're a lot the same

But my heart says

"No no you're not you're not the same"

I'm afraid the masquerade is over all over

And so is love and so is love

It's all over and so is love
