After The War

This is a letter
To the girl I was before
Things will get better
You'll be safe in a place you matter

I know how it feels right now
But you'll make it through somehow
I know you're misunderstood
But do what's right and do what's good

I used to dream of you next to me
But now you're really here
And I wonder if this feeling
Is the feeling of coming home
Home

The next thing I know
It's after the war
And you're next to me
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars
Oh, how I wish I never doubted you
But we'll fix this together
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars

Ahhh, ah ah ah
Ahhh, ah ah ah
Ahhh, ah ah ahhhh

This is a letter
To the girl I was before
You'll find that destiny
It's not set in stone, it's yours to own

I know how it feels right now
But you'll make it through somehow
Learn to take and not just give
The life you have, it's yours to live

I used to dream of you next to me
But now you're really here
And I wonder if this feeling
Is the feeling of coming home
Home

The next thing I know
It's after the war
And you're next to me
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars

Oh, how I wish I never doubted you
But we'll fix this together
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars

I have always loved you
Though I tried not to
I was too blind to see
Hurting you was hurting me
You're always more than what you give
You're worth more than what you've done
You're worth everything to me
You're priceless, you see
And after all is done, we've only begun
Aah
We've only begun, aah

The next thing I know
It's after the war
And you're next to me
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars
Oh, you're my heart, never depart
And now we're together
Hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars

Your hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars
Your hand in my hand
Together we'll stand
Under the stars

Promise me you'll never leave
Promise me you'll try
Promise me I've life with you
Together after the war
Oh, together after the war
Oh, together after the war
