Bitter Sweet

Well, this is such a sad affair
 I've opened up my heart
 Oh, so many times
 But now it's closed
 Oh, my dear
 Every salted tear it wrings
 Bitter sweet applause
 But when the show is in full swing
 Every once in a while
 High stepping chorus lines mean I'm forgetting
 Mein lullaby liebchen
 ♪
 How rich in contrast love can be
 Sometimes I'm quite amused
 To see it twist and turn
 To taste both sweet and dry
 These vintage years
 Lovers you consume, my friend
 As others their wine
 Nein das ist nicht, das ende der welt
 Gestrandet an leben und kunst
 Und das spiel geht weiter, wie man weiss
 Noch viele schönste wiedersehn
 ♪
 And now, as you turn to leave
 You try to force a smile
 As if to compensate
 Then you break down and cry
