The Masquerade

THE MASQUERADE IS OVER (I'M AFRAID)
WRITERS HERB MAGIDSON, ALLIE WRUBEL

My blue horizon is turning gray 
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 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 words don't mean what they used to me 
They were once inspired, now they're just routine 
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
