Only When I Laugh Lyrics - Renaissance

Sitting here alone my thoughts of you 

I hold your photograph 

It's simple black and white 

You wear that smile that won my heart 

The time we had was short 

You had somewhere else to go 

The drafty waiting room 

The train pulls in, you go 

[Chorus] 

You ask me if it hurts when I think of you 

It's only when I laugh 

Time heals now I am cried out 

A brief encounter deep in France 

A table set for two 

Hands held, I melt into you 

I wrote some letters to old friends 

The good old days 

I didn't know you then 

To mention you to them would be absurd 

But then you mean so much 

Ice that's on my window panes 

Slowly starts to thaw 

The image of my tears reflects on you 

That's all 

[Chorus] 

My days will pass as years 

Till you return to me 

The reason that it hurts when I think of you 

It's only when I laugh 

Time heals and now I am cried out 

A brief encounter deep in France 

A table set for two 

Hands held, I melt into you 

[Chorus x2]
