Lyrics

After All

All my life I was looking for you
And suddenly you are there
All my life I knew what I would do
Just stand there like a fool and stare

(All my life) All my life x 2
I'm so glad I found you
I just wanna be around you
All my life

All my life I searched for you
But you were never there, were you?
Thought I'd found you once or twice
It was a sad affair or two

(All my life) All my life x 2
I'm so glad I found you
I just wanna be around you
All my life

(All my life) x 2
I'm so glad I found you
I just wanna be around you
All my life

Yeah, yeah, all my life
