Love Will
The Afters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is slipping away
Days go by, fade away
With one eye opened, one closed
I think you know
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful
Thoughts swirl, spinning around
Weary, falling down
When out of the darkness a hand
Reach out
Hold fast

[Chorus]
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful

Turn round this time
Love is there to find
Lift your head and see
Open your eyes




Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful
