Johnny Hartman - Charade

Tweet

When we played our charade We were like children posing Playing at games, acting out names Guessing the parts we played Oh what a hit we made 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 That 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

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played



Oh what a hit we made
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
That 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
