"Laughed Until We Cried" Lyrics (Relentless album)
Written By Kelley Lovelace, Ashley Gorley
[Verse 1:]
Goin' through my closet the other day,
I found an old yearbook.
Flipped right to the page of that senior trip,
Down there on that Panama strip.
We all started yellin' when we smelled the beach,
Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.'s.
We only had a few days,
An' a whole lot of memories to make.
[Chorus 1:]
Oh, man, we were livin'.
Didn't waste one minute.
We talked an' drank,
An' danced an' said goodbye.
We laughed until we cried.
[Verse 2:]
This past year my family,
Was sittin' cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree.
Listenin' to gran'dad,
We all knew it'd prob'bly be his last.
He was crackin' jokes an' we were takin' turns,
Tellin' stories 'bout fishin' or lessons learned.
Out on the porch with him,
We all felt like kids again.
[Chorus 2:]
Oh, man, we were livin'.
Sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang an' talked,
An' traveled back in time.
We laughed until we cried.
[Short Instrumental break.]
[Bridge:]
It's like the best days under the sun.
Ev'ry emotion rolled into one.
A little o' this, a little o' that.
Kinda happy, kinda sad.
[Verse 3:]
Just the other night the baby was cryin',
So, I got out of bed an' rocked her awhile.
An' I held her tight,
An' I told her it would be alright.
An' my mind went back to a few years ago,
When we tried so long we almost gave up hope.
An' I remember you comin' in,
An' tellin' me the news.
[Chorus 3:]
Oh, man, we were livin'.
Goin' crazy in the kitchen.
We danced an' screamed,
An' held each other tight.
We laughed until we cried.
