When all is said and done
I don’t want to be the only one
who makes it to the end
When I take my final bow
it wouldn’t seem worth it unless somehow
everyone was there

though it’s a fact you can’t live in the past clutching on to memories
when all is said and done I want to see you by my side
’cause when all is said and done you’ve made the best days of my life

When the film finally fades
and the credits roll and we see our names
I hope we’ll point and smile
When we get the first reviews

Looking back it’s clear the joys always outweighed the miseries
though it’s a fact you can’t live in the past clutching on to memories

though it’s a fact you can’t live in the past clutching on to memories
when all is said and done I want to see you by my side
’cause when all is said and done you’ve made the best days of my life

‘Cause when all is said and done you’ve made the best days of my life
