While We Danced at the Mardi Gras
JOHNNY MERCER, ALFRED OPLER
How we danced, as we dreamed at the Mardi Gras
Was romance what it seemed at the Mardi Gras
Was the love that we made just a brief masquerade
Was it gone with the song that the orchestra played
With a sigh, with a glance at the moon above
Was it just by chance we spoke of love
Or did you somehow feel that the wonder was real
While we danced at the Mardi Gras
