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 babysit sometime.

She says "Are you ok? I was worried about you,
Can you forgive me?  I hope that you´ll be happy."
I said "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 through 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 can´t stop crying, I´m laughing through my tears,
I´m laughing through my tears.

I took a walk along 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 ´bout 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 babysit sometimes.

I 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 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."
