After Loving You
Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]
Darling, after loving you
What else is there to do
'Cause darling, all the rest
Will just be second best.
I know I'll go tonight
Just comparing them to you
I'll be no good to anyone
After loving you.
Your love can't be replaced
With just another pretty face
And heartaches will remain
For they can't be erased.
Many loves may come along
But they won't live up to you
I'll be no good to anyone
After loving you...
