I'm Gonna Laugh You Right Out Of My Life
Mel Torme · Other Songs - Mel Torme
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.
So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.
'Cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard...
I'll cry.
