(Jim Ed Brown - Bloodworth)

Oh, Mr. Sun peekin' through the shade in my room
He says get up, gotta rise and shine through my gloom
I better face myself gotta brace myself to go on
The morning after all the laughter has gone.

I lived my life waiting for the nightfall to come
Then I got out on a constant search for someone
Now I may hold her hand kiss her lips well it'd be fun, yeah
The morning after all the laughter has gone.

Who's hand was I holding so tight
And who's lips was I kissing last night
A single bed where I wake alone every morn
Sometimes I cry and wonder why I was born.

I better face myself, brace myself to go on
The morning after all the laughter has gone.

The morning after all the laughter has gone...
