I Should Be Laughing Lyrics - Singles - Patty Smyth

Somewhere in a scrap book 

There's a rose you gave to me 

And the photograph that's torn in half 

And all that's left is me 

Live happily ever after, darling 

That came after I was gone 

And they tell you that you can't go back 

Then why can't I go on? 

When should be laughing at this joke 

Dressed up as love, disguised as hope 

And isn't funny after all this time 

A tear is falling when I should be laughing? 

Sunsets like a painting 

Windows like a frame 

When night comes in and I begin 

To see it all again 

When 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 laughing? 

I should laughing at life 

And all of the tricks that it plays, yeah 

I should be laughing at time 

And how fast it's slipping 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 

'Cause should be laughing at this joke 

Dressed up as love, disguised as hope 

And isn't funny after all this time 

A tear is falling when I should be laughing? 

Now isn't funny I should be laughing? 

Now isn't funny?
