Charade Lyrics - Holly Cole

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, 

The music box played on, and on, and on.

Sad little serenade, 

Song of my heart's composing; 

I hear it still, I always will, 

Best on the bill... Charade.

Fate seemed to pull the strings - 

I turned and you were gone. 

While from the darkened wings, 

The music box played on, and on, and on.

Sad little serenade,

I hear it still, I always will, 

Best on the bill... Charade. 

I hear it still, I always will, 

Best on the bill... Charade.
