Laughed Until We Cried

Going through my closet the other day

Found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page

Of that senior trip down there on that Panama strip

We all started yelling when we smelled the beach

Just couldn't wait to try our fake ids

We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make

Oh man we were livin, didn't waste one minute

We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye

We laughed until we cried

This past year my family

Was sittin cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree

Listenin to granddad, we all knew it would probably be his last

He was crackin jokes and we were takin turns

Tellin stories bout fishing or lessons learned

Out on the porch with him we all felt like kids again

Oh man we were livin, sittin' there reminiscin'

Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time

We laughed until we cried

It's like the best days under the sun

Every emotion rolled into one

A little of this, A little of that

Kinda happy, Kinda sad

Just the other night the baby was cryin

So I got out of bed rocked her awhile and I held her tight

And I told her it would be all right

My mind went back to a few years ago

We tried so long, we almost gave up hope

And I remember you comin' in and tellin me the news

Oh man we were livin, goin crazy in the kitchen

We danced and screamed and held each other tight

We laughed until we cried

(although, the cd cover says Oh man were livin I'll never forget it,

We danced and kissed and thanked the Lord that night)
