A THOUSAND CLOWNS
(Judy Holliday)


A thousand clowns I'll bring you
Just to make you laugh
A blue baboon
And a red raccoon
A lavender giraffe

A thousand stars I'll string you
To weave into a crown
And pale perfume
From a rose's bloom
And a peacock-feather coat

A thousand songs I'll sing you
To help you with your dreams
Of rainbow's ends
And loving friends
And sparkling silver streams

A thousand years I'll love you
Our love will never die
And when a thousand years from now
They're looking at the sky

They'll see two stars together
As close as they could be
One star will be you my love
The other will be me
