Well this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart
So many times
But now it's closed
Oh my dear every salted tear
It wrings bittersweet applause
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
My Lullaby Dear
How rich in contrast love can be
Sometimes I'm quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
No, This is not
the end of the world
Stranded in love and art
And the game goes again
As we know
After many of the fairest, Goodbye
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
