Lyrics
Our old friends may tell you
I’m not grieving,
But I’ve missed you
Since you went away.
To our friends
I’ve just been make believing.
Don’t believe a single word they say.

CHORUS
I laughed the day I saw you leave,
I laughed and said I’d never grieve,
But after my laughter came tears.
I told my friends I didn’t care,
I laughed about our whole affair,
But after my laughter came tears.
My pride kept me from showing them
That I was blue,
But by myself you’ll never know
What I’ve been thru.
My lips concealed a heart in pain,
I made believe but all in vain,
For after my laughter came tears.

Once I may have thought
I was above you,
Now I know that
You’re too good for me,
Since you’re gone
I realize I love you,
And I don’t deserve your sympathy.

CHORUS
