Shirley Bassey The Greatest Performance Of My Life Lyrics

Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my lifeI never lost control, I played the part so wellThat not a single soul could tell that I was lying And so though it was hard to face our friends I gave a partyI knew I meant to show them all I've gotten over youAnd though I saw the unbelieving looks on all their facesI had to try to make them think that it was trueSo I who hardly dance, danced through the night, just like a gypsyAnd I who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was highAnd Iwho hadn't laughed since God knows when, outlaughed PagliacciTill they believed it more than even ITonight I gave the greatest performance of my lifeI never lost control, I played the part so wellThat not a single soul could tell that I was lying But love, if you had been behind the curtain when it fellWhen all the lights were out and I was all aloneYou would have seenthis actress cryingYes, tonight I gave the greatest performance of my lifeI never lost control, I played the part so wellThat not a single soul could tell that I was lying But love if you had been behind the curtain when it fellWhen all the lights were out and I was all aloneYou would have seenthis actress crying(transcribed by Roman supported by Gordon )
