This old house is big and empty
But the memories fill the room, call my name
There's your voice like nothing's changed
I wanted to break away and try
Take my life into my hands and you were there for me
So don't turn away take your freedom now
I light a candle in the rain
Every victory has its share of pain
When I think of the love that was in your eyes
ย
Don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
And the first time we made love
Did I expect too much tenderness
Was I to know how I'd feel when it was over
I cried like a baby in your arms
Still, I can't explain the joy
The rage, the fear inside
Half a woman, half a child
Well for a moment life was complete
I felt you brush your hand across my cheek
And when I think of my innocence, I
ย
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Caught up a tide of mixed emotions
I tumble and I fall but then my spirits soar
Oh, it may seem something fragile had been broken
Every time a door was closed, there was another door
That opened more
ย
It opened more
Somewhere in the far horizon
As a child I used to catch the moon, touch the sky
Sometimes I still dream that I am flying
Wish that you could see me now
I have had my doubts but looking back from where I stand
I would not go back again
But there's a voice that whispers to my heart
Telling me that we will never part
And when I think of the love that I left behind
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Oh, I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know, I don't know, no no no
Oh, I said I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know, don't know
Don't know, don't know
Don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Said I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Looking back from what I see, it appears to me
That I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Said I don't know whether to laugh or cry
ย
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know whether to, I don't know whether to
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether we could laugh
I don't know whether we could cry
I don't know whether to laugh
Don't know whether to cry
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
ย
Well I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I just don't know if I should laugh
Should I cry?
Tell me why, tell me why I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know if I should laugh
Or should I cry?
If I should laugh or I should cry?
I just don't know if I should laugh or cry
