Tracks Of My Tears

Lyrics

People say I'm the life of the party

Because I tell a joke or two

Although I may be laughing loud and hearty

Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face

You'll see my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace

The tracks of my tears

The tracks of my tears
