"I Should Be Laughing"
Patty Smyth
Somewhere in a scrapbook
There's a rose you gave to me
and a photograph that's torn in half
and all that's left is me
And happily ever after darlin
Well that came after i was gone
They tell you that, you can't go back
Then why can't i go on
When I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love, disguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
A tear is falling, when i should be laughing
Sunsets like a painting
Windows like a frame
The night comes in, and I begin
to see it all again
When I should be laughing at this joke
The damage done, the words I spoke
Isn't it funny after all this time
Regret can find me when I should be laughing
I should be laughing at life, and all of the tricks that it
plays
I should be laughing at time, and how fast its slipping away
Somewhere in a scrapbook,
there's a rose you gave to me
With one last look, I close the book
and let the past just be
Cause I should be laughing at this joke
Dressed up as love diguised as hope
Isn't it funny after all this time
a tear is falling, when I should be laughing
Isn't it funny, I should be laughing
and isn't it funny
I should be laughing
