The Last Laugh's On Me
As the moon comes sailing
O'er the mountain peaks
And the night to wind
Starts to drifting (whistling)
Down the valley tonight,
As I sit by the fire
The river whispers my desire
To see her one more time before I go.
[bridge #1]
After I told her that I had to go,
After I explained why I had to leave,
Then she looked at me with that tear in her eye--
She said she understood,
She guessed she'd have to get along--
[refrain]
But I was wrong, I was wrong,
I was wrong, I was wrong…
To think that I could get along
Without that lady in my life
I must have been stair crazy
To think I was free
When all along I was in love
I just didn't know it at the time, I was blind
I didn't have sense or the rhyme or reason
To know I should laugh, I should laugh,
I should laugh…ho ho ho…
'Cause that's because the last laugh has sure been on me.
[interlude--bridge #2]
Some say a woman knows when a man truly cares
Something in his eye or voice she can perceive
Still when she looked up at me with her disappointed smile...
She said she understood,
She guessed she'd have to get along–
[refrain]
She didn't know--I was wrong,
She didn't know--I was wrong...
