Hank Locklin - Happy Face lyrics

When the key turns in my front door then the real me starts to show

I take off my happy face and let the teardrops flow

The same old hurt of loving you and knowing that you're gone

Is always here to greed me when I come home alone.

I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd

When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud

This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place

To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face.

These walls that surround me I'm glad that they can't speak

Because at night I cry and talk to them until I fall asleep

These old floors that I keep walking I'm glad they can't start talking

Or my friends would know the secret I'm trying to keep.

But I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd

When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud

This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place

To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face...
