Me and my dog getting by

Lyrics

Closer to Laughter

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'n' there's a tear in my eye
Yeah... there's a tear in my eye
but I just don't feel like cryin'

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

[Verse]
'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'

[Chorus]
'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]

[Verse]
I get up with Cody
for the long walk home
he knows I'd never leave him
even now that we're alone

[Chorus]

n' there's a tear in my eye but I listen to the dreams I'm havin'
And I...
I can hear you Laughin'

[Outro]
n' there's a tear in my eye but I listen to the dreams I'm havin'
And I...
I can hear you Laughin'

I'm so much closer to laughter now...
Cause I can hear you laughin'

Yeah I...
I can hear you laughin'...
