Look up and see the sun shining in the sky It shines on all day don’t need a reason why Makes me wanna laugh cause it’s too late to cry It’s not like the sun to lay down and die Crucify my soul for I believed it once again Doctor make me whole so I can see where it began Tell me do you know is there some vast eternal plan It’s not like the heart to quickly understand Guess I will sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus of the blues before I say goodbye Sing another chorus try and make you cry Don’t bring me words I cannot use Just let me sing another chorus of the blues Guess I will sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus before I say goodbye Sing another chorus try and make you cry Don’t bring me words I cannot use Just let me sing another chorus of the blues Thought I could mystify you dazzle with my charms All I really wanted was to lay there in your arms If you were me what would you say when you’re about to lose Guess I will sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus before I say goodbye Sing another chorus try and make you cry Don’t bring me words I cannot use Just let me sing another chorus of the blues Sing another chorus of the blues, hey Sing another chorus of the blues

I wonder if you find yourself drinking a peppermint tea And think of me Where does it take you? A world where... Loud laughter is heard A feel for the absurd Je ne regrette rien A world where ... Random is in Boredom a sin Colorful people Put on Tom Waits and Ricki lee Steely Dan and JT A world where ... Nothing can last Moving too fast Just try and repeat it A world where ... There’s rip roaring song Where I belong With colorful people My long lost friends and their schemes I see you all in my dreams There was Quinn & Madelyn, of course it rhymes They were poets of a kind And crazy Marilyn said her boyfriend was back In another man's body Iris in the basement cooking with love You know she set that place on fire Speaking of fires, remember Coney King Reciting Shakespeare at the diner I wonder if you find yourself drinking a peppermint tea And think of me Where does it take you

It isn’t your embrace Or your delightful face That makes me know I made the wisest choice. And if your voice is not my favorite voice I love to hear you sing off-key, In the key of Z But hey it’s okay by me. I’ll tell you why My life is better by half You make me laugh. When I’m about to burst, My day has been the worst, And I can only sit and stew awhile, You’ve got a smile that always makes me smile, And that is halfway to a grin. Let the grin begin! Precluding the mood I’m in You should have been On David Letterman’s staff You make me laugh And no matter the joy that we know in this life, There also will be tears. I can't think of anyone else Who could soothe my fears. Not these fears. And so I'm thunderstruck At my colossal luck. I always knew the one who won my heart Would be funny and smart. Double duty! My sides are good and sore From rolling on the floor. And oh, there’s one thing more You make me laugh. You should have been On David Letterman’s staff You make me laugh And no matter the joy that we know in this life, There also will be tears. I can't think of anyone else Who could soothe my fears. Not these fears. Last time: It isn’t your embrace Or your delightful face, It's more the way you make my spirit soar, As I mentioned before I love your kind of kindness, too, The little things you say and do, And most of all the fact that you You make me laugh.
