The Nat “King” Cole Trio
It’s So Hard To Laugh (It’s So Easy To Cry)

Yes, it's over
No more balcony seats
No more dancin'
Where the gang always meets
Oh, it's so hard to laugh
So easy to cry
Now that we've said goodbye

Yes, it's over
No more curfews to break
No more memories
We must hurry and make
Oh, it's so hard to laugh
So easy to cry
Now that we said goodbye

Dreams won't die
Though you go away
I'll be loving you
Wherever you are
Maybe I
Outta make you stay
But it's mighty hard to cling
To a fallin' star

My smilin' days are over
And beyond all recall
Just a lot of
No more nothing at all
Oh, it's so hard to laugh
So easy to cry
Now that we said goodbye
[Instrumental Break]

My smilin' days are over
And beyond all recall
Just a lot of
No more nothing at all
Oh it's so hard to laugh
So easy to cry
Now that we said goodbye

Now that we said goodbye
