Shirley Bassey - The Greatest Performance of My Life(1972)

From The Album "Giving You the Best That I Got"
Kar by Geoffrey Carter 12th February 2017

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...
tho' 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 hardly danced
Danced 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...
