Take a bow

The night is over

This masquerade is getting older

Lights are low

The curtains are down

There's no one here

(there's no one here in the crowd)

Say your lines

But do you feel them

Do you mean what you say

When there's no one around

Watching you, watching me

One lonely star

(one lonely star you don't know who you are)



I've always been in love with you

I've guess you've always known it's true

You took my love for granted why oh why

The show is over say good-bye

Say good-bye, say good-bye



Make them laugh

It comes so easy

When you get to the part

Where you're breaking my heart

Hide behind your smile

All the world loves a clown

(just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown)

Wish you well

I cannot stay

You deserve an award for the role that you played

No more masquerade

You're one lonely star

(one lonely star you don't know who you are)



Hook



All the world is a stage

And everyone has their part

How was i to know

Which way the story'd go

How was i to know you'd break

You'd break, you'd break, you'd break

You'd break my heart
