Charade



Artist: Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 100 in 1964)

Words by Johnny Mercer and Music by Henry Mancini

from the 1963 film "Charade" starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn



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

Charade
