I Should Be Laughing - Patty Smyth

Somewhere in a scrapbook

There's a rose you gave to me

And a photograph that's torn in half

And all that's left is me

And happily ever after darlin'

Well that came after I was gone

They tell you that you can't go back

Then why can't I go on

When I should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love disguised as hope

Isn't it funny after all this time

A tear is falling when I should be laughing

Sunsets like a painting

Windows like a frame

When night comes in and I begin

To see it all again

When I should be laughing at this joke

The damage done the words I spoke

And isn't funny after all this time

Regret can find me when I should be laughing

I should laughing at life

And all of the tricks that it plays yeah

I should be laughing at time

And how fast it's slipping away

Somewhere in a scrap book

There's a rose you gave to me

And with one last look I close the book

And let the past just be

'Cause should be laughing at this joke

Dressed up as love disguised as hope

And isn't funny after all this time

A tear is falling when I should be laughing

Now isn't funny I should be laughing

Now isn't funny
