I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying

Several 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"

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 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 '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

Saw that friend of mine, he said, "You look different somehow"

I said, "Everybody's got to leave that darkness sometime"

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"
