My blue horizon is turning grey

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 afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love and so is love

Your words don't mean what they used to mean

They were once inspired now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is 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 afraid the masquerade is over

And so is 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 afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love and so is love
