Lyrics by Bernd Harmsen the clown removes his make-up grin after stripping off his gloves sadly he looks upon the wall the photo of his life-long love [lift] "it's not the same since you're not here although I always make them laugh together we had been so great today I'm feeling less than half" [chorus] "I need not fake a smile when I'm alone just for a little while I'll sob and moan forget restraint and style just for a little while I need not fake a smile" tonight there'll be another show again he'll make the people laugh the last show at this village fair then celebrating with the staff [lift] "it's not the same since you're not here although I always make them laugh together we had been so great today I'm feeling less than half" [chorus] "I need not fake a smile when I'm alone just for a little while I'll sob and moan forget restraint and style just for a little while I need not fake a smile"
