That's Why I'm Laughing
Clear blue sky
Looking through my father's eyes
Way up high
A diamond made of nylon flies
Out of the fishing reel
The string is drawn
Fishing for dreams
Up there and songs
And that's why I'm laughing
Last time I held this line
The pull was strong
Could it be that
Much time has gone?
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing now
Years gone by
Looking at my father's smile
Way up high
The kite he made can really fly
Quick as a box-kite wind
The time can be
Leaving the kite
He made for me
That's why I'm laughing
'Cause even with all this change
And time between
You can be here
So clear with me
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing now
Feeling the pull so strong
And far away
Knowing that dreams
Still flies today
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing now
