The Only Thing That Mattered (After All) Lyrics by The Sunshine Company

The Best of the Sunshine Company

0

[Verse 1]
Count up the years that make a lifetime
You don't have long to learn the rhythm of the rain
When the time for dyin' comes around
And you lie there lookin' at the ceiling
Waitin' for the curtain to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
You wonder what good were all the wars you made
Why you raised your kids to be afraid
Of all distances in life
The distances are small
[Chorus]
As the candlelight grows dimmer
And the sounds of life grow thinner
You know love
Is the only thing that mattered after all
[Verse 2]
In the end your memory's like a movie
Your mind projecting everything you've ever been
Not a very pretty story
That you brung along to the Gates of Glory
No one there would dare to let you in
[Pre-Chorus]
So what good were all the deals you made?
Why'd you turn your kids away
Every time they came along to touch your hand?
Such a busy man
[Chorus]
Now, the flame begins to flicker
As you breathe a little quicker
You know love
Was the only thing that mattered after all
[Outro]
You know love
Was the only thing that mattered after all
You know love
Was the only thing that mattered after all
