I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying

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 okay?

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

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 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 giving 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 this 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
