The Greatest Performance Of My Life Lyrics - Shirley Bassey

Tonight, I gave the greatest performance of my life 

I never lost control, I played the part so well 

That not a single soul could tell that I was lying 

And so, though it was hard to face our friends, I gave a party 

I know I meant to show them all, I've gotten over you 

And though I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces 

I had to try to make them think that it was true 

So I, who had me dance, dance through the night, just like the gypsy 

And I who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was high, and I 

Who hadn't laughed since God knows when, out laughed Pagliacci 

Till they believed it more than even I

Tonight, I gave the greatest performance of my life 

I never lost control, I played the part so well 

That not a single soul could tell that I was lying 

But love, if you had been behind the curtain, when it fell 

When all the lights were out and I was all alone 

You would have seen this actress crying

But love, if you had been behind the curtain, when it fell 

When all the lights were out and I was all alone
