After All

AFTER ALL

After all, it’s just my heart
And just another day for you
After all, life is short
And you gotta do what you gotta do
After it all, it was just some words
Words too often some abuse
After all, time goes on
And I’ve heard it heals all wounds

Darlin’, after all, after all is said and done
When the love that brought you here is gone
What reasons have you to hold on
After all

After all, they’re only dreams
It’s not as if they’re carved in stone
After all, the failures ours
Ours to sleep with, ours alone
After all, we may forget
And there’s strangers to help us on the way
After all, we’ll love again
And take our chances in the night or light of day

Darlin’, after all, after all is said and done
When the love that brought you here is gone
What reasons have you to hold on?
After all

After all, we have the right
To throw our arms up when we’re tired
After all, it’s just our lives
And our choice to set our dreams on fire
After all, we only loved
We only laughed, we only cried
After all the past is past
Even if the excuses are all lies

Darlin’, after all, after all is said and done
When the love that brought you here is gone
What reasons have you to hold on?
After all
Does it matter that we may still
Feel the love
That brought us here
And gave us both so much
After all
