Laughing Last Once my life was not so nice Nor was I once or twice Before I got to Paradise This Valley anyway But having gotten here makes Me feel I have got what it takes To be nice no reason not To be content with what I got Through what I got today For going through hell before To Paradise to know what for But to forget the rest I guess maybe what I earned Repeating lessons until learned For having passed the test Here now for more what for I Feel nice without having to try I may be so I may Even when I get depressed Feel lucky maybe even blessed In Paradise they say Lucky then or blessed now here For more before I disappear How I say yes this way To the laughter after then Before now nice to laugh again When laughing last is best Steven Curtis Lance
