Al Jarreau – After All Lyrics

Jazz

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

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

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
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

    W/modern recording tech that exists, Al Jarreau has been indeed immortalized.Buddists never believe that death is the end of life, but merely a pause, as one'slife is always reincarnated. From an Indian fellow Rabindranith Tagore who putit aptly: (paraphrased) " Death is but the last remaining chore of the mortal body-the turning out of a night light, for it is no longer necessary, now that the Dawning of the Eternal Sunrise of the soul has at long last arrived " Al Jarreau was born under the Constellation Pisces on March 12. Al, and George Harrison of the Beatles both believed in Love and Soul as major themes in their lives. Sowhen I think of my 2 friends I met thru their Music, am comforted to know thatso long as I never forget them, both are still very much alive thru their Music.Music is Love. And Love Vanquishes death.
