capo 1 — sounds a semitone higher

Verse 1

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

Bridge 1

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."

Bridge 2

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."

Bridge 3

Saw my lawyer,
Mr. good news, 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" 

Verse 2

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

Bridge 4

something made me smile.
something seemed to ease the pain,
something about the universe and
how it's all connected   

Verse 5

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.

Bridge 5

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
