Story Behind The Song
This song was written when I was in a failing marriage and yearning to be with someone else.
Song Description
This song is about trying to ignore the fact that the singer is crazy in love with a man whom she can't stop thinking about. Even carrying on the day to day living and all of the logistical problems that entails - When All is Said & Done - I love You. (There is no escaping that fact!)

Lyrics
SAID & DONE
Written by: Shannon Lee
I?M LOOKIN? BACKWARDS, FORWARDS, SIDEWAYS UP AND DOWN JUST TO SEE WHAT I CAN SEE
I?M SEARCHIN? HIGH AND LOW FOR ANSWERS
TO QUESTIONS I CAN?T ASK
THIS TOPSY TURVY TOWN IS INSCRUTABLE TO ME
FRIENDS, FOES, FAMILY - PLEASE LET ME SEE
WHAT IS TRUTH? WHERE IS JOY? WHO HAS SECURITY?
NO MATTER WHAT LIFE BRINGS
IT?S PLAIN TO SEE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WHEN THE ROOF IS FIXED, AND THE KID?S ARE FED
WHEN THE DOG IS WALKED, AND YOUR ?PEACE? IS SAID
WHEN THE OATH IS SWORN AND THE DEED IS DONE
WHEN THE BOOK IS READ, AND THE GAME IS WON
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE - I LOVE YOU
I?M BURNING, CHURNING, TURNING, YEARNING
JUST TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU
IT?S SILLY JUST TO KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE
BUT WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
MY HEART?S BETRAYED ME FOR THE VERY LAST TIME
I?M STRONGER, BOLDER, BRIGHTER JUST WATCH ME FLY
HERE I GO, I?M ON MY WAY, THERE?S NO TURNING BACK
BUT WHO HAS POWER OVER ME? THE R-E-A-L-I-T-Y IS
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE
WHEN THE NOTES ARE PLAYED AND YOU?VE HAD YOUR FUN
WHEN THE BRICKS ARE LAID, WHEN THE HORSE HAS RUN
WHEN THE BED IS MADE, AND THE LESSON LEARNED
WHEN THE SONG IS SUNG AND THE BRIDGE IS BURNED
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE - I LOVE YOU
