I can look back now at all the years

I paid my dues

Every broken heart, every dead end

All those blues


It don't matter now

The tears I've waded through     (?)

I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you


I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you


I can laugh out loud

At all the times I failed the test

Lost someone 

And came out second best


I can see now

I had to learn a thing or two

I was practicing then

To get it right for you


Ohh, I can laugh out loud


(Guitar solo)


Life and love

Ain't it a mystery


This road I've struggled down

Has thrown some curves at me


Who would have guessed

The grand-prize would be mine?


This late in the game

This far down the line?


I can look back now at all the years

I paid my dues

Every broken heart, every dead-end

All those blues


It don't matter now

The tears I've waded through


Ohh, I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you


I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you


Ohh, I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you


I can laugh out loud

I ended up with you
