After All These Years Lyrics
A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days our world has changed
Our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace
And I'm proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
You learn to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years
You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we've walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we've made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time can not erase
Make a living up and down the gypsy highway
Seasons that we've had to share apart
Somehow in my heart I'll always keep you near
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years
You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We're lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days our world has changed
Our love remains the same
God knows we've had our share of saving grace
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
After all these years
After the fires that we've walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we've made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time can not erase
Seasons that we've had to share apart
Somehow in my heart I'll always keep you near
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years

This song will always remind me of when I went out to San Francisco for a Make-A-Wish trip to meet Journey after a kidney transplant. My family and I actually got a chance to go in the studio with them while they were working on the new album. Joe Satriani was there too, no joke! Can't wait til the album comes out on June 3! Also can't wait for the concert with Heart and Cheap Trick in Saratoga NY on August 24, 4 days before my birthday.
I adore this song I could easily play it over and over again.
If I ever trick a woman into marrying me (the only way that's gonna be possible) I want this to play.
This falls into the trilogy of the Journey ballads.
