Laugh Through the Tears

There will be times 
when you have tears 
falling down your face 

There will be times 
when you want to disappear 
for good 

There will be times 
when you want to 
crawl into a deep dark hole 
and never leave that deep dark hole

But you have to remember 
to put a smile on that face of yours 
and laugh through the tears 

laugh through the tears 
for things will get better 
laugh through the tears 
for laughter is the best medicine
Just take it from me always laugh through the tears
