When does it end The grieving part I was six you were nine we had nothing to laugh about So I took my books I wanted life in the pages I was lost, I was sad I had nothing to live for See It's not so bad when you're laughing It's not so bad when you're smiling Sister I... Forgetting how it was Maybe that's... A blessing I drove my car Down our old street We were young, we were scared, we had miles to go You told your jokes I sang my sad songs We were tired, we were strong, but, mama said "Babies hold on" And see It's not so bad when you're laughing It's not so bad when you're smiling See It's not so bad when you're laughing It's not so bad when you're smiling Sister I... Forgetting how it was Maybe that's... A blessing But see It's not so bad when you're laughing It's not so bad when you're smiling
