After All Songtext
von Al Jarreau

There, there was a time I knew
That no matter come what may, love would prevail
And then inside the dreams I knew
Came the question lovers fear, "can true love fail?"

Then I would miss the childhood wish
And haven′t I sung to you of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you?

Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
After all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms, mm

I know in my heart and mind
That no matter come what may, love will survive
And love, the author of space and time
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive


And the love that heals the wound after the war is through
Is the knight in armor bright faithful and true to you

Darling, after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
And after all
I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms

Don't you know that after all
I will be the one to hold you in my arms?
Telling you, after all
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
In my arms, ooh-ooh

After all
Baby, I will be the one to hold you in my arms
Honey, after all
Ooh, I will be the one to hold you
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
