After All Is Said And Done Lyrics

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Here I am
Looking in the mirror
An open face, the pain erased
Now the sky is clearer
I can see the sun
Now that all is, all is said and done, oh

[Verse 2: Marc Nelson]
There you are
Always strong when I need you
You let me give
And now I live, fearless and protected
With the one I will love
After all is, all is said and done

[Verse 3: Beyoncé, Marc Nelson & Both]
I once believed that hearts were made to bleed
Inside I once believed (Oh) that hearts were made to bleed, oh, baby
But now I'm not afraid to say
I need (I need) you, I need you so stay with, with me, with, with me, baby, baby
In these precious, precious hours, yeah
Greet each dawn, great each dawn in open arms, in open arms
And dream into tomorrow

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Marc Nelson, Marc Nelson, Beyoncé]
Where there's only love (Love, love, love)
After all is, all is said and done
Yeah, baby
Oh, baby
Inside I once believed, that hearts were meant to bleed (Woah)
[Post-Chorus: Marc Nelson, Beyoncé & Both]
I'll never
I'll never be afraid to say
I need, I need you, I need you, so here
Here we are, here we are, in the still of this moment, this moment
Fear is gone, gone, hope lives on hope lives on

[Outro: Beyoncé & Marc Nelson, Beyoncé, Marc Nelson]
We found our happy ending
For there's only love (Only), only love
And this sweet, sweet love
After all is, all is said and done (Done)
Yeah, baby, after all is, all is
All is said and done

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
