After All

Now it's about time I wrote you a letter
Hey, baby, it's me, for worse or for better
Got nothing to waste, in pace for another lane
No loss, only gain

I know all we had has dried like the desert
Stains from the sand are still on my T-shirt
And I crave a drink of heavenly cool, cool rain

And after all, you were the greatest
After all, I did my best
There is nothing to regret, big or small, hmm
After all, there wasn't a loophole
We were bound to take the fall
Life goes on, and on, and on, after all

Now it's about time I settled the story
You slept in too late and missed all the glory
Got stuck in a dream that finally blurred your brain
I tried to stay sane

Hey, love is so blind, it pops out the window
But no one will find teardrops on my pillow
As I raise a glass of heavenly cool champagne

'Cause after all, you were the greatest
After all, I did my best
There is nothing to regret, large or small, oh no
After all, peep through any keyhole
And you'll see we were bound to fall (we were bound to fall)
Life goes on, and on, and on, after all, uh
Yeah, life goes on, and on, and on, after all
After all

And after all, you were the greatest
After all, I did my best
There is nothing to regret, big or small, no, no, no
After all, there wasn't a loophole
We were bound to take the fall (bound to take the fall)
Life goes on, and on, and on, after all, hmm
Life goes on, and on, and on, after all
