Question: Are we really happy with this lonely game we play!?
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play,
looking for the right words to say!?
Searching but not finding -- understanding anyway,
We're lost in this masquerade!.

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start!.
We try to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The two following songs came to mind, as soon as I read your (excellent) poem:

CHERADE Kramus Lyrics

(Verse)
Another night of showing my charm again and I wait for you
To drop your guard and let me in so I can stop making myself your fool
(And I hope your)
(Chorus)
Very entertained by this charade
And I'm not happy without
My costume for this masquerade
And I'm not happy without
(Verse)
Just pick me up so you can drop me down again
Along with all the smooth things that I should have said to you
(And I hope your)
(Chorus)
Very entertained by this charade
And I'm not happy without
My costume for this masquerade
And I'm not happy without
(Bridge)
Just tell me why you can not get it
I'm peeling off my skin, I'm naked
Do you feel it inside you, Still I can't find you
Just decide
Drop it down or pick it up
(And I hope your)
(Chorus)
Very entertained by this charade
And I'm not happy without
My costume for this masquerade
And I'm not happy without


***and, CHARADE by Henri Mancini

When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill

I've always loved this song:-) It's an oldie, but really great!.
Thanks for reminding me to add it to my favourites:-)

This Masquerade - George Benson

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say!?
Searching
But not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in a mas--masquerade

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say
We're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over
But the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Ev'ry time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
That we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

It's not a lonely game I play!.
I just try to think of things to say!.
No one listens anyway,
Sometimes I think its just not my day,
And that I should go away!.

But what the hey,
I have a good life anyway!.
I enjoy myself every day!

Thanks for your little game to play!. 8^)Www@QuestionHome@Com
