After You
- strangelove

I still recall the phone call,
When you told me you were going away
And though imbued with sadness,
I had to thank you
And still thank you today

After you opened up my eyes
To a way of life I’d not considered before
After you opened up my eyes

Free from the restrictions
Of the traditional coupled paradigm
Alone but not lonely was your secret
And quality of time

After you opened up my eyes
I had a taste of life I’d not tasted before
After you opened u p my eyes

After you opened up my eyes
To a way of life I’d not considered before
After you opened up my eyes
And I tried
Opened up my eyes
I had a taste of life I’d not tasted before
And I tried

And the experiment was well worthwhile
Though results proved to be inconclusive
Circumstances change as they will do
But it's all good

After you opened up my eyes
To a way of life I’d not considered before
After you opened up my eyes
I had a taste of life I’d not tasted before
Opened up my eyes
And I tried
But it's all good
