Seven weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says that the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and babysit sometime
She says "Are you okay? I was worried about you, can you forgive
me? I hope
that you’ll be happy."
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
I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying
I’m so happy I’m laughing through my tears
I’m laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try and 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 given time
A kid should be with his mother
Everybody knows that
What can a father do but babysit sometimes
I saw that friend of mine, he said, "You look different somehow."
I said, "Everybody’s got to leave the darkness sometime."
I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying
I’m so happy I’m laughing through my tears
I’m so happy that I can’t stop crying
I’m so happy I’m laughing through my tears
I’m laughing through my tears
