Somebody Laughing
Somebody Laughing
I dreamed I called your number
and when you picked up the phone.
I heard somebody laughing
I knew you weren't alone.
You said I was mistaken
that you were doing just fine.
I asked if you remembered
back when you were mine.
You said you do but you've moved on,
you hoped I'd be okay.
I heard somebody laughing,
I didn't know what to say.
I asked about your family
you said everyone was great.
That you had someplace to be
and you really can't be late.
As I said goodbye to you,
I said I'm sorry for the call.
I heard somebody laughing
I wasn't dreaming after all.
