The world's a stage they say and we're all part of the play   And you were only acting when we met   You played the lover well so how could I foretell   That you would find another and forget      Act one our vows of love were spoken   Act two we were happy as could be   Act three our vow was broken   The play is ended dow the curtain drops for me   [ steel - guitar ]   It's really very cruel finding out I played the fool   I thought I was the leading man for you   How could I know I'd miss that grand finale kiss   And lose you in the end to someone new   Act one our vows of love were spoken...
