take a bow, the night is over
this masquerade is getting older
light are low, the curtains down
there's no one here
[there's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
say your lines but do you feel them
do you mean what you say
when there's no one around [no one around]
watching you, watching me, one lonely star
[one lonely star you don't know who you are]
chorus:
i've always been in love with you [always with you]
i guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
you took my love for granted, why oh why
the show is over, say good-bye
say good-bye, say good-bye
make them laugh, it comes so easy
when you get to the part
where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[just make'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
wish you well, i cannot stay
you deserve an award
for the role that you played [role that you played]
no more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[one lonely star and you don't know who you are]
(chorus, repeat)
all the world is a stage [world is a stage]
and everyone has their part [has their part]
but how was i to know which way the story'd go
how was i to know you'd break
[you'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
you'd break my heart
i've always been in love with you
[i've always been in love with you]
guess you've always known
you took my love for granted, why oh why
the show is over, say good-bye
(chorus)
say good-bye, say good-bye
say good-bye
