Song Description

Losing love, but dealing with it as best I can

Lyrics

Closer to Laughter

I got a beer in my hand
Moon's in the summer sky
Cody's sittin' by my side
'n' you are restin' on my mind

'n' there's a tear in my eye but just I don't feel like cryin'

Then I drift again
another ride on a memory
the sand shifts away
my hand slips and wakes me

'n' now the beer is gone
But it's not like I was drinkin'
I know that I can save
my broken heart from sinkin'

'n' there's a tear in my eye but I just don't feel like cryin'
I'm so much closer to laughter now than I ever was to dyin'

BRIDGE

I can be anywhere
at any time of day...
And I'm surrounded by echoes
of things I heard you say
in your whispers... and your laughter
as you gently slipped away...

INSTRUMENTAL

I get up with Cody
for the long walk home
he knows I'll always feed him
even though we are alone

'n' there's a tear in my eye but I just don't feel like cryin'
I'm so much closer to laughter now than I ever was to dyin'
I'm so much closer to laughter now than I ever was to dyin'
I'm so much closer to laughter now
