The Way of a Clown

I'll make you laugh when you're blue That way I can be close to you From the start; I play the part, While I make you laugh Someone else fills your heart That's the way of a clown That's the way of a clown It's the part I must play, That's the way of a clown I laugh, with tears in my eyes Like a clown, I wear a disguise Can't let you know, I love you so, You love someone else, so on with the show That's the way of a clown That's the way of a clown It's the part I must play That's the way of a clown In my heart I keep praying That some day you'll come to me But as I masquerade, I'm afraid it never can be... Pity me That's the way of a clown That's the way of a clown It's the part I must play That's the way of a clown That's the way of a clown
