What Comes After You?
By: Tom Jackson


Verse 1:

All I ever wanted was to find someone like you
To have and hold all my life.
I guess dreams can come true, like when we said ?I do?
And I took you home as my wife.

Now I stand here alone in the wind and the snow,
This winter seems so unkind.
Ever since I lost you, it?s tearing me in two,
Questions running through my mind?

Chorus:

Where do I go from here?
This winter seems so cold.
The future?s so unclear, although I know?
After nighttime comes the dawn.
After summer comes the fall.
After winter comes the thaw.
But, what comes after you?
What am I supposed to do?
How do I make it through?
What comes after you?

Verse 2:

We started out so well, kind of like a fairy tale.
The love we had was so strong.
There wasn?t any doubt that we could make it all work out.
Surely nothing could go truly wrong.

Now I stand beside your grave, pretending to be brave,
Trying to comprehend that you?ve died.
The doctors lost all hope, and I?m left here to cope
With questions that cause me to cry?
