Charade Lyrics - Duke Ellington

When we played our charade 

We were like children posing 

Playing at games, acting out names 

Guessing the parts we played 

Oh, what a hit we made 

We came on next to closing 

Best on the bill, lovers until 

Love left the masquerade 

Fate seemed to pull the strings 

I turned and you were gone 

While from the darkened wings 

That music box played on

Sad little serenade 

Song of my heart's composing 

I hear it still; I always will 

Best on the bill, charade
