If I Laugh Lyrics

If I laugh just a little bit
maybe I can forget the chance
that I didn't have to know you
and live in peace, in peace

If I laugh just a little bit
maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn't use to get you
at home -- with me -- alone

If I laugh just a little bit
maybe I can recall the way
that I used to be, before you
and sleep at night -- and dream
If I laugh, baby if I laugh
just a little bit --

Someone who has made an impact on you, a great impact on you, and you wanted them in your life, but you didn't get them... You didn't use the plans that you had, maybe the timing was wrong? Maybe you were too shy, or afraid?

But it affected you deeply, and you miss them, the idea of your future with them... It hurts so bad, that you think, if I Laugh, just a little bit... Maybe it'll get better, maybe I'll go back to before I knew you, and not realize what I'm missing.....maybe I can sleep again, without that person on my mind.... Maybe.... If I Laugh.

Cat Stevens is amazing, but has anybody noticed how much 'If I Laugh' sounds like 'Syphallis'?

You're kidding right? This song was written about 10 years before anyone had ever heard of AIDS and HIV.

This song makes me realize the importance of being grateful in our lives. Recently been in a situation of a big disappointment with someone i really like and care about. The thing is, if we stop for a moment, think of life as a gift, remind of good moments we lived, knowledge we acquired, the love we receive from our dear ones like family and true friends, we can handle situations a lot better. It helps us relieve the pressure of the outside world and realize how much value in the simple things we forget to count.
