After All These Years
What would I do sweet baby
Where would I go tell the lady
If I didn't have you baby
Right here standing by my side
How would I get by, oh baby
How I would I make it through the night, oh lady
This old world would conquer
All of my dreams
They say dreams don't always come true
But I'm here to tell you my dreams came true
The first day I laid eyes on you
So how would I get by baby
How would I make it through the night precious lady
I could not live without you baby
Standing right by my side
Where would I go baby
Now that the kids are all grown up lady
It's just you and me baby
You mean the world the world to me
They say dreams don't always come true
But my dreams came true the moment the night the day
That I laid eyes on you
How would I get by baby
I'd just lay down without you and die baby
You are my precious sweet lady
You mean the world to me
After all these years, my baby
All the things we've been through
Just you and I together
The good times, the bad times, the sad times
You're still the dream come true for me
Don't make me cry baby
Who would hold me, kiss me, console me baby
To me you're like steak and gravy
And you're everything, everything to me
After all these years
The joy, the sorrow, the love, the tears
The children and the precious things and memories
After all these years
Where would I go tell the lady
If I didn't have you baby
Right here standing by my side
How would I get by, oh baby
How I would I make it through the night, oh lady
This old world would conquer
All of my dreams
They say dreams don't always come true
But I'm here to tell you my dreams came true
The first day I laid eyes on you
So how would I get by baby
How would I make it through the night precious lady
I could not live without you baby
Standing right by my side
Where would I go baby
Now that the kids are all grown up lady
It's just you and me baby
You mean the world the world to me
They say dreams don't always come true
But my dreams came true the moment the night the day
That I laid eyes on you
How would I get by baby
I'd just lay down without you and die baby
You are my precious sweet lady
You mean the world to me
After all these years, my baby
All the things we've been through
Just you and I together
The good times, the bad times, the sad times
You're still the dream come true for me
Don't make me cry baby
Who would hold me, kiss me, console me baby
To me you're like steak and gravy
And you're everything, everything to me
After all these years
The joy, the sorrow, the love, the tears
The children and the precious things and memories
After all these years
