Lyrics After All (I Live My Life) (Rerecorded) - Kenny Rogers

Always thinkin' 'bout the days gone by
When my private eyes saw only hills and sky
But I'm not the simple-minded girl I used to be
Now I've learned to picture love in its reality

After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching
For new games to play
After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching
For new games to play
I live my life

Saw a dragon shake cathedral walls
While the steeple bells rang out an anguished call
Then I turned my eyes to see a bird fly overhead
And I dreamed its wings of freedom could be mine instead

Then I found after all the dreaming
Truth appeared as smooth just faded
After all the dreaming
Now the last I see

After all the dreaming
Truth appeared with sounds to aid it
After all the dreaming
Time has passed by me
I live my life

Only to find
After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching
For new games to play

After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching
Time has passed by me
I live my life

I live my life
