7 weeks have passed now since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine, that they miss me
Maybe I could come and babysit sometime
She says are you okay? I was worried about you
Can you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happy
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw a friend of mine, he said I was worried about you
I heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about him
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer, missed the good news he got me
Joint custody and legal separation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I took a walk alone last night, I looked up at the stars
To try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me, I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile, something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected
The park is full of Sunday fathers, a mellowed ice cream
They try to do their best within their given time
A kid should be with his mother, everybody knows that
What can a father do but babysit sometimes
Saw that friend of mine, he said you look different somehow
Everybody's got to leave the darkness sometimes
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
I'm laughing through my tears
