Tonight I Gave The Greatest Performance Of My Life Lyrics

Tonight I Gave The Greatest Performance Of My Life lyrics

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 a gypsy

And I 

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

And I



who hadn't laughed
since God knows when, outlaughed 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

Yes,
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
