Lyrics After All - John Wetton

After All

After all your day is done
Time for sleep, the night time’s come
Hopes and dreams are reborn
In the quiet of your room
After all the songs are sung
All the actors come and gone
The stage is dark and empty
But one candle burns alone
After all the pain has gone
How can I forget, your memory goes on
After all your pain has gone
My life goes on
All the wounds you held inside
And your stubborn sense of pride
Take the love we feel for you
Try to help us understand
If the wish were left to me
This final act would never be
You give wings to our hearts
And our thoughts are with you now
After all the pain is gone
Only memories linger on
After all the pain is gone
Has gone is gone
After all the pain has gone
And in the darkness, when I call
Tell me please, that there is light, after all
