Laughed Until We Cried

Going through my closet the other day I found an old yearbook flipped right to the page of that senior trip Down there on that Panama Strip We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach Couldn't wait to try our fake ID's We only had a few days And a whole lot of memories to make Oh, man, we were livin' Didn't waste one minute We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye We laughed until we cried This past year, my family Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree Listenin' to granddad We all knew it'd probably be his last He was crackin' jokes and we were takin' turns Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned Out on the porch with him We all felt like kids again Oh, man, we were livin' Sittin' there reminiscing We sang and talked and traveled back in time We laughed until we cried It's like the best days under the sun Every emotion rolled into one A little of this, a little of that Kinda happy, kinda sad Just the other night, the baby was cryin' So I got out of bed rocked her awhile And I held her tight And I told her it would be alright And my mind went back to a few years ago We tried so long, we almost gave up hope And I remember you Comin' in and tellin' me the news Oh, man, we were livin' Going crazy in the kitchen We danced and screamed and held each other tight We laughed until we cried
