[Verse 1] There was a time And a place When I raced To see your face. To hear your laughter, That’s what I was after, It’s what made it all worthwhile. Then time rolled on And you looked upon Something else besides the thought of me. With lumbering tides, We became unmoored while the sands we had walked on shifted the shore, Funny, Neither of us visits that beach anymore. [chorus] To hear your laughter, That’s what I’m after, It’s what makes it all worthwhile. [Verse 2] Now, just a glance When we share a space. No hint of other moments. No knowing sighs or wistful smiles. The distance, not in years or miles. To hear your laughter, That’s what I’m after, It’s what makes it all worthwhile. [Verse 3] In quiet moments, along noisy boulevards, As I race to one place or another, I wonder if your laugh is still the same. Effortless, forgiving, without strain. For me, I guess the humor’s gone. Not even giggles from night till dawn. The fog is returning, the streets are wet, Still trekking the winding roads. I’m not there yet. [chorus] To hear your laughter, That’s what I’m after, It’s what makes it all worthwhile. [slow fade]
