After the laughter comes the tears Now that's what happens when your memory appears I try to act real happy since you said goodbye But sometimes when I least expect I break right down and cry Oh..after the laughter comes the tears And my feelings never seem to be too clear I never know how long I'll smile but it's usually just for a little while Cause after the laughter comes the tears After the laughter comes the tears... And my feelings never seem to be too clear I never know how long I'll smile but it's usually just for a little while Cause after the laughter comes the tears
