So they say he walks in loneliness,
Hello is his goodbye.
Watch him in the silent dark,
Never know the reason why;
Wipe the tears away from hope,
Wave until he’s gone –
Laugh, and the world laughs with you
But if you cry, you cry alone.
No, he never noticed you,
Never saw your smile;
Living in his other world
You were shadowed all the while;
Wash the taste of salt away,
Smile, and think of home –
Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
But if you cry, you cry alone.
Soon the crowd will pick you up,
Laughing in the sun;
Leave the stranger moving on,
Life for him has not begun.
Dry your eyes, forget the past,
One and none is one –
Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
But if you cry, you cry alone.
