You know that after the laughter comes the tears
That's what happends when your memory appears
I try to act real happy since you said goodbye
But sometimes when I least expect I break right down and cry.

'Cause always after the laughter comes the tears
And my feelings never seem to be too clear
I never know how long I'll smile
Nut it's usually just for a little while.

'Cause after the laughter comes the tears
After the laughter comes the tears...
