After My Laughter Came Tears - Cliff Edwards
Our old friends may tell you I'm not sleeping
But I've missed you since you went away
To our friends I've just been make-believing
Don't believe a single word they say
I laughed the day I saw you leave
I laughed and said I'd never grieve
But after my laughter came tears
I told my friends I didn't care
I laughed about our whole affair
But after my laughter came tears
My pride kept me from showing them
That I was blue
But by myself you'll never know
What I've been through
My lips concealed a heart in pain
I made believe but all in vain
For after my laughter came tears
My pride kept me from showing them
That I was blue
But by myself you'll never know
What I've been through
My lips concealed a heart in pain
I made believe but all in vain
For after my laughter came tears
