Lyrics

All About You
I’ve been listening to them old songs
playing on the radio
The singer says how much he loves her,
How he’ll never let her go
But there’s a secret they’ve been keeping
and they’re never lettin’ on
There’s so much life still left for living
once the music’s long gone
I can hear them singing of a love so true
But soon enough they’re on to someone new
They say their love will last forever
It seems impossible to do
To find a way to make it last
To find a way to make it through
But all them old love songs
Finally ring true
‘Cause every one of them is all about you
Some come on just like a freight train
become an anthem for the young
Some are precious like a Texas rain
and end as soon as they’ve begun
But either way they ain’t convincing
I never trusted them because
They tell a story like a fairytale
that ends the way it never was
Though now I know that none of them are good enough
I want to dedicate each one to you
REPEAT FIRST CHORUS
Randy Travis sang “Forever”
Orleans said “You’re Still the One”
Marc Cohn had his True Companion
But that’s all been said and done
Whatever sentiment they’re selling
It never meant that much to me
It always left me with a bitter taste
From the sweetest melody
After all this time you’d think I’ve heard it all
But when I hear them now they sound brand new
I know this love will last forever
I know it’s possible to do
You know that we can make it last
We can always see it through
‘Cause all them old love songs
They finally ring true
‘cause every one of them Is all about you
Everyone of them is all about you
