Paint the Smile On
Paint the smile on
Give me time till the colors dry
Paint the smile on
Paint a picture that tells a lie
I'll keep on smiling, I won't
Satisfy you to see me cry
I'm gonna keep on laughing
Though I'm living a lie, baby
Teardrops will brush away without a trace
Painting the smile on my face
I'll be "best clown" of all the mortal race
Painting the smile on my face
On my face, on my face
No more sorrow
Though the picture's still wet with tears
By tomorrow
When it's dry and the smile appears
Imagine that I'm someone
Happy like it was meant to be
I hope that maybe someday
That that someone is me, baby
Teardrops will brush away without a trace
Painting the smile on my face
I'll be "best clown" of all the mortal race
Painting the smile on my face
On my face, on my face
Paint the smile on
Give me time till the colors dry
Paint the smile on
Paint a picture that tells a lie
No more sorrow (I'm gonna keep on smiling)
Though the picture's still wet with tears
By tomorrow (I'm gonna keep on laughing)
When it's dry and the smile appears
Paint the smile on (I'm gonna keep on smiling)
Give me time till the colors dry
Paint the smile on (I'm gonna keep on laughing)
