Seven weeks have passed now
since she left me,
And she shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine
and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime
She says, "are you OK?
I was worried about you,
can you forgive me? I
hope that you ll be happy." I said
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**CHORUS**
"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"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**CHORUS**
"I m so happy that I can t stop crying,
I m so happy, I m laughing through my tears."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saw my lawyer, Mr. goodnews, he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
**CHORUS**
"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
The park is full of Sunday fathers,
and melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother,
everybody knows that,
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes.
I saw that friend of mine, he said,
"you look different somehow."
I said,"everybody s got to
leave this darkness sometimes."I said,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**CHORUS**
I m so happy that I can t stop crying,
I m laughing through my tears,
I m laughing through my tears
I m so happy that I can t stop crying,
I m laughing through my tears,
I m laughing through my tears
