Elaine Paige & Idina Menzel Take a Bow song lyrics

written by babyface and madonna

time: 5: 21

take a bow the night is over

this masquerade is getting older

light are low the curtains down

there's no one here

[there's no one here there's no one in the crowd

say your lines but do you feel them

do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around

watching you watching me one lonely star

[one lonely star you don't know who you are

i've always been in love with you [always with you

i guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true

you took my love for granted why oh why

the show is over say goodbye

say goodbye [bye bye

] say goodbye

make them laugh it comes so easy

when you get to the part

where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart

hide behind your smile all the world loves a clown

[just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown

wish you well i cannot stay

you deserve an award for the role

that you played [role that you played

no more masquerade you're one lonely star

[one lonely star and you don't know who you are

(chorus repeat)

say goodbye [bye bye

] say goodbye

all the world is a stage [world is a stage

and everyone has their part [has their part

but how was i to know which way the story'd go

how was i to know you'd break

[you'd break you'd break you'd break

you'd break my heart

i've always been in love with you

[i've always been in love with you

guess you've always known

you took my love for granted why oh why

the show is over say goodbye

say goodbye [bye bye

] say goodbye

say goodbye
