Crying And Laughing
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
SEmearchlights, Esus4rain on the rEmoad,
                       Bm   Asus4-  A  
Waiting for the airport limousine,
YoCur time in this foGreign land,
Is nearly oAmver, I'll neBver forget how
Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me, 
HComewarDd, bBack to your woEmrld,
BacCk to the oDne who is tEmhere,
CGo nDow, but Bgo in lEmove,
For it's the Conly way;
             D   G-    D   C-          Em  
And you'll be crying, laughing,
HaClf a wDorld aGway,
      C    D   G-    D   C-  Em  
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the lCove we haveD,
When you go awayEm... 
Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you 
Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way,
And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away...

For the love we have,

But you must go,

Crying, laughing,

Half a world away,

You'll be crying, laughing,

Don't forget me love,

When you go away...
