I Should Be Laughing

(patty smyth/glen burtnik)

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And the photograph thats torn in half
And all thats left is me
Live happily ever after
That came after i was gone
And they tell you that you can't go back
Then why can't i go on?

Chorus:
When should be laughin` at this joke
Dressed up as love, diguised as hope
And isn't funny after all this time
A tear is fallin` when i should be laughin`

Sunsets are like a painting, windows like a frame
When night comes in and i begin
To see it all again

'cuz 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 laughin`
I should laughin` at life
And all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time
And how fast its slippin` 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

(repeat chorus)
