The Way Of A Clown

I make you laugh when you're blue
That way I can be close to you
From the start, I play a part
While I make you laugh
Someone else thrills 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
Won'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
That's the way of a clown
It's the part I must play
That’s the way of a clown
