WITH PEN IN HAND The Songwriting of Bobby Goldsboro

See the funny little clown, he’s hiding behind a smile They all think he’s laughing, but I know he’s really crying all the while How his heart is aching, how his heart is breaking, on the inside But he keeps laughing on the outside - “See the Funny Little Clown” Take your little heart, tear it all apart Make the teardrops fall from your eyes And you’ll know how I feel when he holds you, whenever he holds you - "Whenever He Holds You"
