Artist/Band: Duke Ellington
Lyrics for Song: Charade
Lyrics for Album: The Reprise Studio Recordings [1999]



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


Album Lyrics: The Reprise Studio Recordings [1999]
