Nancy Wilson
(I’m Afraid) The Masquerade is Over
[Verse 1]
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

[Chorus]
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love
And so is love

[Verse 2]
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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"
[Chorus]
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, over
And so is love
And so is love

[Outro]
It's all over
And so is love
