I Gotta Laugh So I Don'T Cry



I am watching the comedy channel;
I have had it on all day.
Watching Chaplin and Keaton
And Laurel and Hardy at play.
I laugh out loud at their antics,
Though I’ve seen then all before.
We used to laugh together
But you are not here any more.
Soon they will close down for the night,
Another night without you there.
And that’s when my tears of laughter
Will turn to tears of despair
