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
