After all
Night-
And the world is fast asleep
I will hold you here and keep
All our secret dreams and plans
You-
Never thought our love could last
Now you've put that in the past
'Cause you finally understand
That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all
We-
All the promises we made
All the words we never said
Never knowing what was right
You didn't know-
That the love we used to share
Wasn't cause it wasn't there
We'll make up for it tonight
That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After all
We were young
And your dreams took you places far from me
I was wrong
To believe
That you'd go
'Cause here you are
That after all
The times you told me that we'd never be good together
After all the things you said
That made me think that you'd never call
Now you've turned around and told me
That you want to stay here forever
And you're back here in my arms
Where you belong
After allWhat do you say to the dead
Will you forgive me for living
Can't believe the things that they said
Wonderful day for a killing
It's killing me
What do they do with your soul
Is it just lying there busted
When did you lose all control
Is there someone to be trusted
With my mind
Oh there's insufficient evidence
Of what just might come after
But sometimes out of nowhere
There's demented sounds of laughter
Are we all haunted by
The ghost - imagination
It just can't be
I've seen them there
Howling at the moon
Is it just me
Or does somebody else believe this
Well I'm not alone
And I'm not afraid
There's just one way to see
After all etc.
What do you say to the dead
Is there a place where it's burning
It says in a book I once read
Yes there's a chance of returning
Turn to me
The fundamental principles
Say nothing of forever
But those are voices that I hear
Or I'm just not so clever
It can't be me
I know somebody else believes this
Well I'm not alone
I'm not afraid
Just one way to see
After all etc.Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always
Brings me back to you
CHORUS:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all
When love is truly right
This time it's truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it grows
And oh the way it grows
But it never disappears
Chorus
Always just beyond my touch
Though I needed you so much
After all what else is living for
Whoa
Chorus x 2Go ahead, push your luck
Find out how much love the world can hold
Once upon a time I had control
And reigned my soul in tight
Well the whole truth
Is like the story of a wave unfurled
But I held the evil of the world
So I stopped the tide
Froze it up from inside
And it felt like a winter machine
That you go through and then
You catch your breath and winter starts again
And everyone else is spring bound
And when I chose to live
There was no joy - it's just a line I crossed
It wasn't worth the pain my death would cost
So I was not lost or found
And if I was to sleep
I knew my family had more truth to tell
And so I traveled down a whispering well
To know my self through them
Growing up, my Mom had a room full of books
And hid a way in there
Her father raging down a spiral stair
'Til he found someone
Most days his son
And sometimes I think
My father, too, was a refugee
I know they tried to keep their pain from me
They could not see what it was for
But now I'm sleeping fine
Sometimes the truth is like a second chance
I am the daughter of a great romance
And they are the children of the war
Well the sun rose with so many colors
It nearly broke my heart
And worked me over like a work of art
And I was a part of all that
So go ahead, push your luck
Say what it is you've got to say to me
We will push on in to that mystery
And it'll push right back
And there are worse things than that
'Cause for every price
And every penance that I could think of
It's better to have fallen in love
Than never to have fallen at all
'Cause when you live in a world
Well it gets in to who you thought you'd be
And now I laugh at how the world changed me
I think life chose me after allAfter all this time I'm thinking,
want to know just what you feel for me
After all this time I'm thinking,
you gonna be the one who set me free.
I love you!
[2x]
can you hear me,
calling out your name
i want your love
[2x]
feel, feel all love
love is growing stronger,
i can see it in my dreams
it's all i always wanted
now i know that is for me
After all this time I'm feeling,
you're the one who's always there for me
After all this time I'm feeling,
the passion's burning deep inside of me
I love you!
[2x]
feel, feel all love
You set my soul on fire,
now with you i have no feel
you're all i ever needed
disallright while you are here!
I love you!Well, here we are again;
I guess it must be fate.
We've tried it on our own,
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight.
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new.
Every memory repeats,
Every step I take retreats,
Every journey always brings me back to you.
(chorus)
After All the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts,
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.
After All that we've been through,
It all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
Forever you and me, After All.
When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right.)
It lives from year to year.
It changes as it goes,
Oh, and on the way it grows,
But it never disappears,
chorus
Always just beyond my touch,
You know I needed you so much.
After All, what else is livin' for?
chorus-repeat
