After All This Time

There were trains And we out-run 'em There were songs And we out-sung 'em There were brighter days never ending There was time And we were burnin' There were rhymes And we were learnin' There was all the love two hearts could hold And after all this time You're always on my mind Hey I could never let it end 'Cause my heart takes so long to mend The dream that keeps your hopes alive The lonely nights you hold inside And after all this time You're always on my mind I still want you There was rain That we outlasted There was pain But we got past it There were last goodbyes still left unspoken There were ways I should have thrilled you There were days I could have killed you You're the only love my life has known And after all this time You're always on my mind Hey I could never let you go A broken heart that heals so slow Could never beat for someone new While you're alive and I am too And after all this time You're always on my mind I still miss you And I could never let it in 'Cause my heart takes so long to mend The dream that keeps your hopes alive The lonely nights you hold inside And after all this time You're always on my mind I still want you Hey after all this time You're always on my mind I still love you --- After All This Time - Rodney Crowell
