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

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
