I've sung it all tonight

Almost every story that I know

And now when they turn out the spotlights

I'm not sure where I'm s'posed to go

And I'm so hoarse I can't hit the high notes

It's just a whisper when I'm low

But when you sing from the inside

You hope that something shows

And that it why



Yes you are the only song, the only song I need

You're my laughter and you're my lonely song

You're the harvest and you're the seed

And you're my first and my final song

For you own me indeed

Oh yes, oh yes,

Yes, after all is said and done

You're the one song that I need



I've sung my songs to silence

To empty clubs and crowded bars

I've sung my songs to standing room

Even sung 'em to the stars

But the faces they fade together

And the applause it's gone so fast

And the story of every darkened stage

Is that the glory just does not last



And that is why

Yes after all is said and done

You're the one song that I need



All my life's a circle...
