“After All” by Elton John Lyrics
I lie awake and realize
That you’re better than my dreams
Thought I found love so many times
‘Til you showed me what it means
Oh-oh, nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby
They were just doing it wrong
I gave up on love until you made me believe in it after all
After all, mmh-mmh
If you never fell out of the sky
I don’t know what I would do
I wouldn’t trade one thousand lives
For the one I have with you
Oh-oh, nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby
They were just doing it wrong
I gave up on love until you made me believe in it after all
After all, oh-ah
Baby, after all, oh-oh-oh-woah
It’s not the same, not the same, not the same, oh
Nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby
They were just doing it wrong (doing it wrong)
I gave up on love until you made me believe in it after all (after all)
After all, oh
Nothing compares to you
Oh no, baby (oh no, baby)
They were just doing it wrong (doing it wrong)
I gave up on love until you made me believe in it after all (after all)
After all, oh
