Face of a Clown

(Carolyn Penick)



It's hard for me to smile, I feel like crying

Yet I always manage to grin

Friends won't know the pain that I feel or know

The misery I'm in.



Everyone thinks I'm happy

For I smile and never frown

But looks are deceiving and nobody knows

The hurt behind the face of a clown.



I've got a little pride, my tears I'll hide

Whenever you're around

You'll never know you hurt me so

For I have a face of a clown.



I'll try to conceal the pain I feel

I won't let it get me down

You won't have a pleasure of knowin'

The hurt behind the face of a clown.
