My divorce was final on 07/27/12.
It is a bittersweet feeling ~ an end to a very passionate ~
Love/Hate relationship. In the end we were nothing more than tolerant of each
other.
I am free to move forward untethered and alive, a free woman living
somewhere in Ventura County of California.
I have written some lyrics on the mask painting from the
artist Madonna’s song “Take a Bow.” Below in bold is what I chose to write.
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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 good-bye
Say good-bye bye bye, say good-bye
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
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye bye bye, say good-bye
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:]
Say good-bye bye bye, say good-bye
All the world is a stage
And everyone has their part has their part
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
[Chorus:]
Say good-bye bye bye, say good-bye
All the 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
[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 good-bye
[Chorus:]
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye
[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 good-bye
[Chorus:]
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye
