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 crying helped me from showing them

But I was blue but by myself you never

Know what I've been through

I lips conceal a hurting pain

I make believe but all in vain but after

My laughter came tears

My crying helped me from showing them

That I was blue but by myself you

Never know what I've been through

I lips conceal a hurting pain

I make believe but all in vain but after

My laughter came tears
