Patty Smyth - I Should Be Laughing Lyrics

Artist: Patty Smyth

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Glen Burtnik, Patty Smyth

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And the photograph that's torn in half
And all that's left is me

Live happily ever after, darling
That came after I was gone
And they tell you that you can't go back
Then why can't I go on?

When 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?

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?
