After All Lyrics by Christine Ebersole

Ever After

1998

What would a mother not do for her child
What lengths would a mother not go
There's a bond that exists between mother and child
With no end to how strong it can grow
It's a promise for life between mother and child
It begins from the moment of birth
And your shaken to your soul
With an ache you've never known
And you look into their eyes
And find your looking in your own

And there's a pain you can't imagine
A special kind of torture you can feel
A cut that bleeds from somewhere deep inside you
A past regret you can't heal
And no one guesses all the while your praying
That screaming little stranger in your arms
Might just grow up and save you after all
Might just grow up and save you after all

What would a mother not do for her child
What heights would a mother not climb
There's a bond the exists between mother and child
And it only goes deeper with time
It's a promise for life between mother and child
And to break it there is no greater pain
And your shaken to your soul
With an ache that you can't erase
Like the tears you never cried but still keep scrubbing off your face

And there's a pain you can't imagine
The little talk that keeps you wide awake
That somehow turns to bold determination
That you won't ever make the same mistake
And so you've got to feed your little future
Assuring that her talent, poise and charm
Might just grow up and save you after all
Might just grow up and save you after all

Some dreams die upon the vine
Some they never have a chance
Sweeter than the sweetest wine
That mine becomes
The Queen of France

And there's relief you can't imagine
It's filling every sinew, bone and nerve
To know that you can get out of this hellhole
And finally live the life that you deserve
And that you leave the past you knew would haunt you
And all the regret you didn't show
Might just grow up and save you after all
Might just grow up and save you
Might just grow up and save you after all

What would a mother not do for her child
What lengths would a mother not go
There's a bond that exists between mother and child
Ah , but then again,
How would you know?
