The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics - The Complete Albums Collection 1955-1958 - Cannonball Adderley

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
