A happy clown all dressed in red
Who wears a frown upon his head
His funny clothes, his shiny nose
His laughing smile all disappear inside
For with the dawn he sees
Her shadowed memory
Fade away with dreams that stay
And the echo in your mind
Don't sing a glad song, sing a sad song
It's the only one you know
The smile fixed on your face can disappear
Without a trace and only cry
In the light of dreams you see
She's coming back to you
With the dark of one she's just
A vanished memory
In the big red shoes, she tripped and fell
They watched and laughed
You sat and cry
You said goodbye without a sigh
That leaving wasn't hard to do
But now at night she creeps unto
The athletes of your mind
Just to vanish with the sunrise
Into a dream
