Smiling On the Road

[Verse] He packs his bag and hits the road Wandering through places unknown With a smile for every face he shows But love’s a dream that never grows [Verse 2] In sunshine and in pouring rain He dances through the joy and pain Laughter echoes where he's been But silence speaks of hearts unseen [Chorus] Smiling on the road he goes A heart that longs but never shows In the spotlight all alone Seeking love that's never known [Verse 3] Across the beaches night and day The crowd cheers while he fades away Behind the mask the tears still flow But no one sees the lonely glow [Verse 4] Every show a stolen glance The audience lost in his trance Yet as he leaves the night behind His heart still searches blind [Bridge] In every city far and near Joy he gives yet love's not clear Stories told in silent cries Love is just a distant tide
