After All These Years - Solomon Burke

What would I do, sweet baby

Where would I go tell the lady

If I didn’t have you, baby

Right here standing by my side

How would I get by, oh baby

How I would I make it through the night, oh lady

This old world would conquer

All of my dreams

They say dreams don’t always come true

But I’m here to tell you my dreams came true

The first day I laid eyes on you

So how would I get by, baby

How would I make it through the night precious lady

I could not live without you, baby

Standing right by my side

Where would I go, baby

Now that the kids are all grown up lady

It’s just you and me, baby

You mean the world the world to me

They say dreams don’t always come true

But my dreams came true the moment the night the day

That I laid eyes on you

How would I get by, baby

I’d just lay down without you and die, baby

You are my precious sweet lady

You mean the world to me

After all these years, my baby

All the things we’ve been through

Just you and I together

The good times, the bad times, the sad times

You’re still the dream come true for me

Don’t make me cry, baby

Who would hold me, kiss me, console me, baby

To me you’re like steak and gravy

And you’re everything, everything to me

After all these years

The joy, the sorrow, the love, the tears

The children and the precious things and memories

After all these years
