This Masquerade - Carpenters/Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Lyrics by：Leon Russell

Composed by：Leon Russell

Produced by：Richard Carpenter/Karen Carpenter/Jack Daugherty/Nick Patrick

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 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 each time I see your eyes

And no matter how hard I try

To understand the reason why we carry on this way

We're lost in this masquerade

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 each time I see your eyes

And no matter how hard I try

To understand the reason why we carry on this way

We're lost in a masquerade

We're lost in a masquerade

And we're lost in a masquerade
