There's Laughter, There's Tears

There's laughter there's tears,
Life is all about joys and sorrows
There's autumn there's spring, 
Seasons come and go

There's laughter there's tears, 
Life is all about joys and sorrows
If one sleeps protected,
Another longs for compassion


If one is distraught, 
Another is showered with love
If there is pain there is a balm, 
life is all about joys and sorrows


There's laughter there's tears,
Life is all about joys and sorrows
Memories of days gone by 
Continue to torment us

Like shadows they come to haunt us, 
Like shadows they go away
Loneliness casts a pall of gloom, 
For life is all about joys and sorrows


There's autumn there's spring, 
Seasons come and go
One is forced to live,
For there are social mores


There are days when you gain and lose,
Days when there are promises to keep

Restlessness overwhelms, 
life is all about joys and sorrows
