The Clown - Reba McEntire

After a couple of bottle of red wine the truth finally came out

The words «I don’t love you anymore"spilled from his mouth

So I looked to the waiter for some consolation

But he just poured the coffee, and without hesitation

He said, «Ma'am, is that all you’ll be needing tonight?»

Oh the piano kept playing

And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking

Cell phones kept ringin', glasses were clinkin'

Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'

So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown

In that room full of jokers and jesters, I was the clown

Well you can’t walk the high wire of love and be afraid to fall

And you can’t put all of your faith in a gypsy’s crystal ball

We just do what we do, take the chances we take

Show me a life without a mistake

Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down

Oh the piano keeps playing

And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking

Cell phones keep ringin', glasses keep clinkin'

Everyone laughin' and dancin' and singin'

So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown

In that room full of jokers and jesters, sometimes you’re the clown

When the circus is over and the tents are pulled down

The truth is, the show must go on for the clown

And oh, the piano kept playing
