Ain't No Laughing
The Tony Rich Project Lyrics
It's that time again
When memories arise
Of a certain song in my head
It makes me think of you
In a spooky mood
With a halo hanging over your head
With the angels you dance, you sing
You told me once before
Now why would you lie to me
When you could set my pain free
My daddy knocking on the door
Who says that I'm enjoying life?
'Cause people all around
But the one I found, can't be around
So I'm feelin' down
On that early morning
Hey hey hey hey hey
When I think of you
I find it being on special days
Hee hee hee hee hee
Ain't no laughing
No joyous times
When you're not here with me
Here I sit and stare into the cold air
At a cloud that pays me no mind
Knowing in my heart
That I'm trying to see you
In the bright blue sky, above Tuxedo right?
You'd never wear a suit
Just a sweater and a pair of slacks
And some nice shoes to match
well, in the midst of them, my eyes are full
Cause I'm ready to cry
But I'm not afraid cause I'm a guy
Said I told myself
There's no use in waiting for you
In your precious car
But only God knows I'd give my all
To be with you on that early morning
Hey hey hey hey hey
When I think of you
I find it being on special days
Hee hee hee hee hee
Ain't no laughing
No joyous times
When you're not here with me
Hey hey hey hey hey
When I think of you
I find it being on special days
Hee hee hee hee hee
Ain't no laughing
No joyous times
When you're not here with me

Tony Rich got his start in the music industry as a staff writer at LaFace Records. While there, Rich penned hits for Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill, TLC and Toni Braxton.
While living in Detroit, Rich started playing in jazz fusion and soul bands and worked with local Detroit songwriters. It was at this time that John Salley, Detroit Pistons player and record producer, encouraged Rich to work with his artists and to even make his own tracks.
Meeting with R&B singer Pebbles, Tony Rich was introduced to her then-husband L.A. Reid. As co-founder of LaFace Records, Reid convinced Rich to move to Atlanta and to begin writing and producing for established acts. One of Rich's first projects was a session with Elton John and Sounds of Blackness for a Curtis Mayfield tribute LP. He then expanded his portfolio to include work with the previously mentioned stars.
In early 1996, Rich made his solo debut with the cd Words and the hit single Nobody Knows, which made it to number 2 on the top 100. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Tony Rich won the Grammy for Best Male R&B album. The album featured two Grammy-nominated singles, Like A Woman and Nobody Knows.
The album was followed up in 1998 by Birdseye which, while critically praised, failed to generate much commercial success. Rich seemingly disappeared from the music world for several years after his album's release.
In 2003, Rich came back on the scene with the album Resurrected. Carrying a very different style this time around, the album featured Rich rocking out on the guitar as well as singing smooth ballads.
In 2006, Rich released a fourth album, Pictures. The album contains snapshots of a relationship, and is far more in the veins of his earlier works.
In 2008, he released his fifth album, Exist through Hidden Beach Recordings. Originally it was set for release on September 16, however it was pushed back to September 23, 2008. The album features download-only single, Part the Waves.
