Lyrics

All That Ever Mattered

It may sound corny

But you were all that ever mattered

And I can still hear your laughter

As it echoes through the years

And if perchance we meet again

Please don’t pass me by

If a body meets a body

Coming through the rye

You see, I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

No, I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

I tell ya, I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

No, I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

You were all that ever mattered

And in the aftermath

You just gotta laugh at it all

Didn't we have ourselves a ball?

Painting the town

A lurid red then

Home to the warmth of my makeshift bed

I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

No, I never realized

Till’ our demise

How much you meant to me

I never realized

Till’ our demise
