Lyrics
The first person I ever heard sing this song
I think I was 19
Her name was Stormy Winters
This is for you, Stormy
And all the things you taught me
Yeah
Your eyes
Baby they don't shine
Like they used to shine
And the thrill
Is gone when your lips meet mine
And I'm afraid the masquerade is over
It's all over, yeah
And so is love
And so is love
Your words
Baby, they don't mean
What they used to, what they used to mean
They were once so inspiring
Now they're just routine
And I'm afraid the masquerade is over
It's all over, yeah
And so is love
And so is love
Yeah, yeah
No, you want me to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears, oh tears
Tears in my eyes
Oh you, you look
You look the same
Oh, but I know, I know, I know, I know
You're not the same
You're not the same
And my heart cries no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not
You're not the same
And I'm afraid the masquerade is over
It's all over
And so is love
And so is love
Yeah yeah, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Oh whoa, whoa
No, no, no, no
No, you want me to play Pagliacci
And get myself, myself a clown's, a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
Hahaha
But I want no tears
In my pretty brown eyes
Oh you look, you look, you looked
You look the same
But I know, I know
I know you're not the same
And my heart, my heart
Cries no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not, you're not, you're not
You're not the same
You're not the same, oh
And I'm afraid this masquerade is over
Over
And so is love
And so is love
And, and so is love
You know that dress you left in my closet?
I want you to take that
And you know those shoes
That you have under my bed
I want you to take those
And take that dog with you
That ate of my shoes
And so is love
And so is love
And, and so is love
And, and so is love
Thank you Stormy
