Waldemar Kocoń - The Greatest Performance of My Life

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 actor 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 actor crying
