The Melody Man (Joe Davis)<br /><br />"After My Laughter Came Tears"<br /><br />Harmony 597-H<br /><br />1928<br /><br />Song by Tobias & Turk<br /><br />Rube Bloom, piano<br /><br />I laughed the day I saw you leave. I laughed and said I'd never grieve.<br />But after my laughter came tears.<br /><br />I told my friends I didn't care. I laughed about our whole affair.<br />But after my laughter came tears.<br /><br />My pride kept me from showing them that I was blue.<br />But by myself you'll never know what I've been through.<br /><br />My lips concealed a heart in pain. I made believe but all in vain.<br />For after my laughter came tears.
