(I`M AFFRAID) THE MASQUERADE IS OVER — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

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 affraid 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 affraid 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 affraid the masquerade is over
