Masquerade Blues

The corners of your lips don't go as high as they used to
Your agate eyes have a smoky overtone
The aura that follows you is a lurking shadow
The music of your voice now sings the masquerade blues

In the right light you can see the gray coming through
That shouldn't stop you from being you
And I know you can't see everything I do
But believe me when I tell you that you ain't you
What happened to your smile?
What happened to your eyes?
I used to look into them and get lost for a while
Now I'm listening to the song of your soul
And it's singing the masquerade blues

What happened to your smile?
What happened to your eyes?
I used to look into them and get lost for a while
Now I'm listening to the song of your soul
And it's singing, singing, singing

Can't you see what's right in front of you
So what, if you don't have everything they do
Because you have me and you and don't you know
I'll do everything I can do
To get you to see
That you're not you
