After the Lovin'
Faron Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
With a song I just wrote yesterday
And I hope you can hear what the words
And the music has to say

It's so hard to explain everything that I'm feelin'
Face to face I seem to go dry
But I love you so much
The sound of your voice can get me high

Thanks for takin' me
On a one way trip to the sun
Thanks for turnin' me
Into someone

I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And a smile on your face is so real
That it makes me want to cry

And I know my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
But after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you

I sing you to sleep after the lovin'
I brush back the hair from your eyes
And that smile on your face is so real
That it makes me want to cry

And I know that my song
Isn't sayin' anything new
But after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you





After the lovin'
I'm still in love with you

Oh, after the lovin'
I'm still in love with you...

My mom and I loved Faron Young... love how he used to "wink" and flirt with all the ladies, I think his voice only improved with age, like a fine wine... and he got even MORE Handsome as he got older too, a VERY handsome gent... SO SAD he is no longer with us. I KNOW he's up in Heaven singing to my mom and she's lovin' it...
