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 my darling 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 afraid the masquerade is over and so is love my darling 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 so is love the masquerade is over so is love
