Karaoké The Greatest Performance of My Life Shirley Bassey

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
