Charade - Kat Edmonson

When we play 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 wing

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 wing

The music box played on Sad little serenade

Song of my heart’s composing

I hear it still, guess I always will

Best on the bill, charade
