After Laughter
Johnnie Frierson, Mary Frierson
[Intro]
After laughter come tears
Baby, baby
After, oh, laughter, there'll be tears
[Verse 1]
When you're in love
Honey, you're happy, oh, and
When you're in arms
Sugar, you gazin'
But this doesn't last always
[Chorus]
After laughter come tears
Baby, baby
After, oh, laughter
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
My friends all say "don't try to hold it in"
But I can't let that lady know how I feel
Maybe I'll hold it in for a long year
They keep saying
[Chorus]
After laughter come tears
Baby, baby
After, oh, laughter
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
I'll try to hide, hide my sorrow
I wonder, can I hold back these tears 'til tomorrow?
Maybe I'll hold them in for a long year
They keep saying
[Chorus]
After laughter come tears
Baby, baby
After, oh, laughter
Oh, oh, oh
