After the laughter comes the tears
Now that's what happens when your memory appears
I try to act real happy since you said goodbye
But sometimes when I least expect I break right down and cry

Oh..after the laughter comes the tears
And my feelings never seem to be too clear

I never know how long I'll smile but it's usually just for a little while
Cause after the laughter comes the tears

After the laughter comes the tears...
And my feelings never seem to be too clear
I never know how long I'll smile but it's usually just for a little while
Cause after the laughter comes the tears
