Now if you want to see the sunshine

Then you’ve got to have the rain

And if you want to make laughter

Then you’ve got to feel some pain

Yes if you want to be happy

You've got to know how to cry

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high

There is a reason for the pain that makes the children cry

That makes their teardrops fall like rain… there is a reason why

A reason why hard times go down and the good times come after

A reason why things turn around… because God loves laughter     

Now if you want to see the sunshine

Then you’ve got to have the rain

And if you want to make laughter

Then you’ve got to feel some pain

Yes if you want to be happy

You've got to know how to cry

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high      

You cannot know what love's about until you've walked alone

Until you've had to do without what made you feel at home

And you cannot have the sunshine without the rainfall after

All those tears fall from your eyes 'cause God loves laughter

Now if you want to see the sunshine

Then you’ve got to have the rain

And if you want to make laughter

Then you’ve got to feel some pain

Yes if you want to be happy

You've got to know how to cry

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high

Don't you know that God loves laughter

Because it makes His children high
