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 and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and 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`m so happy that I can`t stop crying
I`m so happy I`m laughing though my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr Good News
He got me joint custody and legal separation
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 and 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 the darkness sometime
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
