Texty: Hank Snow. Act 1 Act 2 Act 3.

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...
