That's Why I'm Laughing

Clear blue sky
Looking through my father's eyes
Way up high
A diamond made of nylon flies

Out of the fishing reel
The string is drawn
Fishing for dreams
Up there and songs

And 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's smile
Way up high
The kite he made can 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 flies today

That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing
That's why I'm laughing now
