I smile with a tear in my eye
And laugh when my heart wants to cry
Each day starts and ends with a sigh
But the show goes on

I dream but my dream's disappear
I awake and I tremble with fear
I speak and I know you won't hear
Still the show goes on

I tell all my friends each
Place and times end
And the curtain has descended
I say I don't care but, my darling, I swear
That the break in my heart can't be mended

I laugh when I'm crying inside
And smile when I just wanna hide
A fool with a heart full of pride
Still the show goes on
