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....
