When we played our charade

We were like children posing
Em F# Em F#
Playing at games, acting out names
Em F#7/5+ Bm F#
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made

We came on next to closing

Best on the bill, lovers until
Em F#7/5+ Bm
Love left the mas...querade
Em A7 F#m Bm
Fate seemed to pull the strings

I turned and you were gone
Em A7 F#m Bm
While from the darkened wings
C#m Em F#
The music box played on

Sad little serenade

Song of my heart's composing
Em F# Em F#
I hears it still, I always will

Best of the bill, charade.
