After All These Years Songtext

Words and Music by Terry Taylor ©1980 Cancel and Eat (ASCAP) Believe me darling, I'm just a man But if I could be your everything You know I would And if you were only crying tears My kiss could drive away I'd gently wipe them from your eyes Tell you everything's OK But after all these years there lingers still An emptiness I cannot fill After all these years After all these years I realize my love, you're just a woman For you're not the treasure Nor a precious jewel There swims deep longing in my soul This ocean has no floor It's not your voice that drowns, It's the knocking at my door After all these years there lingers still The emptiness you cannot fill Please realize my love, I'm just a man Yet if I could be your everything You know I would This picture-puzzle love We share is yet to be complete We drink of love yet thirst again; The taste is bittersweet And after all these years there lingers still An emptiness only He and He alone can fill After all these years After all these years
