"Charade" Lyrics


When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games,
Acting out names,
Guessing the parts we played.

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill,
Lovers until,
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings,
I turned and you were gone.
While from the darkened wings
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

Lyrics: Johnny Mercer
Music: Henry Mancini
