Nancy Wilson - The Greatest Performance Of My Life

 

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
