Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

Our scene is over and the whole world knows

Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

I leave the stage, put my memories behind



How it started with a passing word

How you answered and I liked what I heard

Wasn't long before we fell in love

And we thought we'd never part



Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

Our scene is over and the whole world knows

Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

I leave the stage, put my memories behind



How I started to depend on you

How you tried to be dependable too

But you found it hard to change your ways

And you merely broke my heart



Pretty soon I knew it had to end

Still I fool myself and try to pretend

But what's the good if there's another guy

And he's playing the leading part?



Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

Our scene is over and the whole world knows

Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind

I leave the stage, put my memories behind



Velvet curtains draw the show to a close

Our scene is over and the whole world knows....
