Lyrics

And af ter all’s

been said and done,

who (Eb)said it best?

Were you the one?

Let’s just for (Bb)get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.

If you should find

the time to speak

and (Eb)speak to me,

I’d nev er keep

you from your (Bb)fi nal des ti (F)ny, so car ry on.

If you should find

In to the (Eb)qui et I am bound.

What you have lost,

I’ve nev er found.

I lost my (Bb)nerve, yet peace sur (F)rounds, so car ry on.

In to the qui

et I am bound.

What you have lost,

I’ve nev er found.

I lost my (Bb)nerve, yet peace sur (F)rounds, so car ry on.

And now that (Bb)all’s been said and done,

who (Eb)said it best?

Were you the one?

Let’s just for (Bb)get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.

Let’s just for get, leave it be (F)hind and car ry on.
