Your eyes don´t shine like they used to shine And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I´m affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, my darling and so is love
Your words don´t mean what they used to me They were once inspired, now they´re just routine
I´m affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, my darling 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 affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love
