Songtexte I've to Sing a Torch Song - Coleman Hawkins

A Clown Can Laugh When He's Unhappy,
Sometimes I Wish I Were A Clown.
I'd Like To Sing Away My Sorrow,
Ev'ry Sorrow, Ev'ry Frown.
A Lively Jingle Never Cheers Me,
I Sing Of Love, But No One Hears Me.

I've Got To Sing A Torch Song,
For That's The Way I Feel;
When I Feel A Thing,
Then I Can Sing,?
It Must Be Real.
I Couldn't Sing A Gay Song,
It Wouldn't Be Sincere,
I Could Never Croon
A Happy Tune
Without A Tear.
I Have My Dreams, But One By One,
They Vanish In The Sky;
I Try To Smile And Face The Sun,
But Romance Passes By.
I've Got To Sing A Torch Song
To Someone Far Apart,
For The Torch I Bear
Is Burning There,
Right In My Heart.
