If tears of sorrow stain your face,
Then let me be your clown.
If sadness should engulf your thoughts,
I’ll chase away your frown.
Unhappiness may come at times,
But I’ll be by your side
To make you laugh and soon forget
That you had ever cried.
If you should find that all your days
Are very often bad,
I’ll be your clown and make you smile.
You’ll never need be sad.
