lyrics

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.
