I laughed the day I saw you leave
I laughed and said, "I'd never grieve"
But after my laughter came tears

I told my friends, "I didn't care"
I laughed about our whole affair
But after my laughter came tears

My pride kept me from showin' them
That I was blue
But by myself you'll never know
What I've been through

My lips concealed a heart of pain
I made believe but all in vain
For after my laughter came tears

My pride kept me from showin' them
That I was blue
But by myself you'll never know
What I've been through

My lips concealed a heart in pain
I made believe but all in vain
For after my laughter came tears
