After All These Years

V5.5

[Verse 1] [Soft electric piano, muted guitar, deep bass; intimate close-mic vocal] I love the way you look at me Like you did when we were new I love the man you are today And my heart keeps running to you I love the way your hands feel The way you hold me tight After all this time Everything feels right [Pre-Chorus] [Groove deepens; subtle percussion enters; vocal becomes more breathy] Because I don’t want anyone else I dream of you always You’re the man I know by heart The one I choose each day [Chorus] [Warm soulful lift; layered harmonies, sensual but restrained] After all these years You take my breath away Your touch can make the whole world Disappear without a trace And when you pull me closer There’s nowhere else I’d rather be The earth and sky and time stand still And your love sets me free [Verse 2] [Return to intimate groove; soulful electric guitar answers the vocal] I love the way you say my name I love the smile behind your eyes I love the little things you do That catch me by surprise There’s a part of love That time can never take away The wonder of discovering you A little more with every day [Chorus] [Deeper groove; richer harmonies and subtle vocal embellishments] After all these years You take my breath away Your touch can make the whole world Disappear without a trace And when you pull me closer There’s nowhere else I’d rather be The earth and sky and time stand still And your love sets me free [Verse 3] [Pull back slightly; piano and bass carry the intimacy] That’s what love becomes When you’ve given it some years Not losing all the mystery But learning how it feels To know somebody deeply And have more left to find To have the love I always wanted And know you’re truly mine [Bridge] [Music nearly disappears; breathy, vulnerable vocal] And every time you pull me closer Every time our eyes meet The life we’ve built around us Fades beneath our feet [Final Chorus] [Full soulful bloom; lush harmonies, emotional vocal lift, tasteful ad-libs] After all these years You take my breath away Your touch can make the whole world Disappear without a trace And when you pull me closer There’s nowhere else I’d rather be The earth and sky and time stand still And your love sets me free [Outro] [Strip back to electric piano, soft bass and breathy vocal] After all these years… [Whispered] I’m still in love with you…. I’m still in love with you.
