Laughter

You try and keep on telling me Something I do not know That everything in life Is not all one big joke You seem to always say That humor has its place But in every circumstance That's not always the case You don't seem to understand How humor fits the plan If laughter was not my only sound The smile on this clown would eventually break down It's the only way I really know It's all or nothing when going for broke My boat would hit rock bottom If this river of laughter ever lost its flow Because life these days can be blistering If you cry instead of trying to sing And nothing makes the heart sing more Than a good daily dose of laughter So I'll continue to laugh at the days As I giggle bad feelings away You may not but this I know Though every thing in life is not a joke It's the only way I find I can cope
