The Masquerade Is Over 1938 Vs2

My blue horizon is turning grey,
and my dreams are drifting away.

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 learn to laugh like Pagliacci,
with tears in my eyes.
You look the same,
you're a lot the same,
but my heart says 'No,
no you're not the same.'
I'm afraid the Masquerade is over,
and so is love
and so is love....

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 learn to laugh like Pagliacci,
with tears in my eyes.
You look the same,
you're a lot the same,
but my heart says 'No,
no you're not the same.'
I'm afraid the Masquerade is over,
and so is love
and so is love....
