After My Laughter Came Tears - Nat King Cole Trio

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 showin' them

That I was blue

But by myself you’ll never know

What I’ve been through

My lips concealed a heart of pain

I made believe but all in vain

For after my laughter came tears

My pride kept me from showin' them

That I was blue

But by myself you’ll never know

What I’ve been through

My lips concealed a heart in pain

I made believe but all in vain

For after my laughter came tears
