I'm Gonna Laugh You Out Of My Life

Johnny Mathis · Faithfully//johnny's Mood [2002]

I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life

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
