Charade
=======
w: Johnny Mercer
m: Henry Mancini, 1963

[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 2]
Fate seemed to pull the strings,
I turned and you were gone.
While from the darkened wings
the music box played on.

[Verse 3]
Sad little serenade,
Song of my heart's composing;
I hear it still, I always will,
Best on the bill charade.

[Repeat Verse 1]
