Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
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
She says, "Are you O.K.? 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
(So) 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 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 about 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 baby-sit sometimes?
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "You look different somehow"
I said, "Everybody´s got to leave the 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
