Lyric
Seven weeks have passed now since she left meAnd she shows her face to ask me how I amShe says the kids are fine and that they miss meMaybe I could come and babysit sometimeShe says “Are you ok? I was worried about youCan you forgive me? I hope that you’ll be happy”I said “I’m so happy that I can’t stop cryingI’m so happy, I’m laughing through my tears”I saw a friend of mine he said “I was worried about youI heard she had another man I wondered how you felt about it”I’m so happy that I can’t stop cryingI’m so happy I’m laughing through my tearsSaw my lawyer, Mr Good NewsHe got me joint custody and legal separationSo I’m so happy that I can’t stop cryingI’m laughing through my tears, I’m laughing through my tearsI took a walk along last nightI looked up at the starsTo try and find an answer in my lifeI chose a star for me, I chose a star for himI chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wifeSomething made me smile, something seemed to ease the painSomething ’bout the universe and how it’s all connectedThe park is full of Sunday fathers and melted ice creamWe try to do the best within the given timeA kid should be with his mother, everybody knows thatWhat can a father do but babysit sometimesI saw that friend of mine, he said “you look different somehow”I said “everybody’s got to leave the darkness sometimes”I said, “I’m so happy that I can’t stop cryingI’m laughing through my tears, I’m laughing through my tears”“I’m so happy that I can’t stop cryingI’m laughing through my tears”
