My thanks to Ronny Robbins and Mariposa Music Inc [Must not be used on any other site without prior approval] THE TEARS BEHIND THE SMILE By Marty Robbins There was a time when I was gay and happy as could be. It seems like years and years have passed since she belonged to me. The smile you see is make believe It's really not my style. But if you'll look close enough you'll see the tears behind the smile. It isn't easy to pretend that life has been so sweet. That lady luck has placed the things I've wanted at my feet. Where there's no love there is no life I found it out by trial. And if you'll look close enough you'll see the tears behind the smile. Cheated out of what I love, robbed of every scheme. I can't make my heart believe That this is not a dream. I tell myself that I'll forget in just a little while. But sometimes it's awfully hard to hide the tears behind the smile. Nobody knows how much I hurt, they don't suspect a thing. The only treasure I have left is just a wedding ring. I never ever want to laugh it doesn't seem worth while. But I have to if I want to hide the tears behind the smile. Copyright© 1957.
