After All Is Said And Done – Beyonce

Here I am

Looking in the mirror

An open face, the pain erased

Now the sky is clearer

I can see the sun

Now that all is, all is said and done, oh

There you are

Always strong when I need you

You let me give

And now I live, fearless and protected

With the one I will love

After all is, all is said and done

I once believed that hearts were made to bleed

(Inside I once believed that hearts were made to bleed, oh baby)

But now I’m not afraid to say

I need you, I need you so stay with me

These precious (precious) hours (yeah)

Greet each dawn in open arms

And dream, into tomorrow

Where there’s only love

After all is, all is said and done

(Yeah baby) Oh baby

(Inside I once believed, that hearts were meant to bleed)

(I’ll never)

I’ll never be afraid to say

I need you, I need you, so here

So here we are in the still of this moment

Fear is gone, hope lives on

We found our happy ending

For there’s only love (only love)

And this sweet, sweet love

After all is, all is said and done

Yeah baby after all is (all is)

All is said and done
