Day after day Standing here as the show begins Only the thrill of a cheer calls me back again The laughter fades in times of isolation Far far away is the clown who never cries Raise a smile and let the sun shine through Lift your hearts there's nothing to lose Leave 'em laughing when the music ends And lets all have fun with the clown Town after town passing by some are lost to me Time after time wondering why some have memories The grease paint smiles my only consolation Now and again I remember all the times I've said Every smile hides a tear A laugh makes it clear It's all worthwhile Raise a smile and let the sun shine through Lift your hearts there's nothing to lose Leave em laughing when the music ends And lets all have fun The shows just begun Lets all have fun with the Clown You'll never know what tomorrow may bring Lift your hearts and dance and sing Leave em laughing when the music ends And lets all have fun And make this the one Lets all have fun with the Clooown Raise a smile! Leave em laughing!
