"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 bill we mad!
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!

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!
