7 weeks have passed now since she left meShe shows her face to ask me how I amShe says the kids are fine, that they miss meMaybe I could come and babysit sometimeShe says are you okay? I was worried about youCan you forgive me? I hope that you'll be happyI'm so happy that I can't stop cryingI'm so happy I'm laughing through my tearsSaw a friend of mine, he said I was worried about youI heard she had another man, I wondered how you felt about himI'm so happy that I can't stop cryingI'm so happy I'm laughing through my tearsSaw my lawyer, missed the good news he got meJoint custody and legal separationI'm so happy that I can't stop cryingI'm laughing through my tearsI took a walk alone last night, I looked up at the starsTo try and find an answer in my lifeI chose a star for me, I chose a star for himI chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wifeSomething made me smile, something seemed to ease the painSomething about the universe and how it's all connectedThe park is full of Sunday fathers, a mellowed ice creamThey try to do their best within their given timeA kid should be with his mother, everybody knows thatWhat can a father do but babysit sometimesSaw that friend of mine, he said you look different somehowEverybody's got to leave the darkness sometimesI'm so happy that I can't stop cryingI'm laughing through my tearsI'm so happy that I can't stop cryingI'm laughing through my tearsI'm laughing through my tears
