After All Is Said and Done
Beyoncé Knowles; Marc Nelson Lyrics

Here I am
I am present in this moment.

Looking in the mirror
I am examining myself.

An open face, the pain erased
I am free and unburdened, without any emotional pain.

Now the sky is clearer
I have a better perspective and see hope for the future.

I can see the sun
I am optimistic and confident.

Now that all is, all is said and done, oh
Now that everything is complete and finished, I have clarity and peace.

There you are
You are present with me in this moment.

Always strong when I need you
You are a pillar of strength for me in times of need.

You let me give
You allow me to express myself and be giving in the relationship.

And now I live, fearless and protected
Your love makes me feel safe and secure.

With the one I will love
I am with the person I will love forever.

After all is, all is said and done
After everything is completed and finished, our love remains steadfast.

I once believed that hearts were made to bleed
I used to think that love was painful and would always lead to heartache.

(Inside I once believed that hearts were made to bleed, oh baby)
Internally, I believed that love always caused pain.

But now I'm not afraid to say
But now I am confident and open about my feelings.

I need you, I need you so stay with me
I require your love and companionship; please stay with me.

These precious (precious) hours (yeah)
These moments together are priceless and valuable to me.

Greet each dawn in open arms
We embrace each new day with open hearts and arms.

And dream, into tomorrow
We have limitless possibilities for the future and look forward to our dreams becoming reality.

Where there's only love
Love is the only thing that exists in our relationship.

After all is, all is said and done
After everything is completed and finished, our love remains steadfast.

(Yeah baby) Oh baby
Expressing affection for their partner.

(Inside I once believed, that hearts were meant to bleed)
Internally, they used to believe that love always caused pain.

(I'll never) I'll never be afraid to say
They will never hesitate to express their feelings.

I need you, I need you, so here
They require their partner's love and companionship, and they are here in this moment together.

Here we are in the still of this moment
We are present together in this peaceful moment.

Fear is gone, hope lives on
There is no fear, only hope for the future.

We found our happy ending
We have found our happily ever after.

For there's only love (only love)
Love is the only thing that exists between them.

And this sweet, sweet love
This love is pure, innocent, and sweet.

After all is, all is said and done
After everything is completed and finished, their love remains.

Yeah baby after all is (all is)
Expressing contentment with their love after everything is said and done.

All is said and done
Everything is completed and finished.
