After My Laughter Came Tears

After My Laughter Came Tears - Nat King Cole

I laughed the day I saw you leave

I laughed and said I'd never grieve but after

My laughter came tears

I told my friends I didn't care

I laughed about a whole affair but after

My laughter came tears

My pride kept me from showin' them

That I was blue

But by myself you'll never know

What I've been through

My lips concealed a heart of pain

I made believe but all in vain

For after my laughter came tears

My pride kept me from showin' them

That I was blue

But by myself you'll never know

What I've been through

My lips concealed a heart in pain

I made believe but all in vain

For after my laughter came tears
