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
