Joe Davis - After My Laughter Came Tears (1928)

The Melody Man (Joe Davis)

"After My Laughter Came Tears"

Harmony 597-H

1928

Song by Tobias & Turk

Rube Bloom, piano

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 our whole affair.
But after my laughter came tears.

My pride kept me from showing 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.
