A clown can laugh when he's unhappy, sometimes I wish I were a clown, I'd like to sing away
my sorrow, every sorrow, every frown, a lively jingle never cheers me, I sing of love when
no one hears me.
I've got to sing a torch song, for that's the way I feel, when I feel a thing, then
I can sing, it must be real, I couldn't sing a gay song, it wouldn't be sincere, I couldn't
ever croon a happy tune, without a tear, I have my dreams, but one by one, they vanish
in the sky, I try to smile and face the sun, but romance passes by.
I've got to sing a torch song, to someone far apart, for the torch I bear is burning
there, right in my heart.
