Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine, that they miss me
Maybe I could come, baby-sit sometime
She says, "Are you o.k? I was worried about you.
Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy."
I'm so happy, that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy, I'm laughing through my tears
I saw a friend of mine. He said, "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about it."
I said, "I'm so happy that I, can't stop crying."
I'm so happy, I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr. good news, he got me
Joint custody and legal separ-ation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears,
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night. I looked up at the
stars. To try to find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile.
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected
(During the solo move the capo up one fret)
The park is full of sunday fathers, and melted ice cream
We try to do the best, within the givin time
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit some-times?
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "you look different somehow."
I said, "everybody's got to leave this darkness sometime." I say,
"I'm so happy that I can't stop crying."
Laughing through my tears,
Laughing through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
Laughing through my tears,
Laughing through my tears
