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]
