That's Why I'm Laughing - David Wilcox

Clear blue sky

Looking through my father's eyes

Way up high

A diamond made of nylon flies

Out of a fishing reel

The string is drawn

Fishing for dreams up there

And songs

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 smile

Way up high

The kite he made could 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 fly

Today

That's why I'm laughing

That's why I'm laughing

That's why I'm laughing now
