Crying And Laughing
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh



Searchlights, rain on the road
Waiting for the airport limousine
Your time in this foreign land
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how

Last night, after he called
You held me like you'd never let me go
But your eyes are happy now
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me

Homeward, back to your world
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way

And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
When you go away...

Long ride, holding her hand
Looking all the words we cannot speak
One mile to the boulevard
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you

Homeward, back to your land
Back to the one who is there
Go now, but go in love
For it's the only way

And you'll be crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
For the love we have
But you must go
Crying, laughing
Half a world away
You'll be crying, laughing
Don't forget me love
When you go away...
