美國歌手兼演員［琳達艾德］──成人流行抒情曲──［After All／終究］

The moon makes ribbons to surround you
Within the robe of dark around you
I see goodbye
A blade that cuts me from your eyes

I wonder why
Its time for honesty and answers
Love is the song- we are the dancers
A broken pair- we spin alone

And wonder where- the touch has gone
After all this time
After all weve been through
Is this all that we have

No- we still have time
To find each other- after all
I touch your face and feel you crying
Are all the words weve said been lies

Well never leave- the place where hearts
Alone receive- what love believes After all this time
After all weve been through
Is this all that we have

No- we still have time
To find each other- after all
Within the deepest darkness
The seed of morning waits to grow

The sun will come- this much I know
After all this time
After all weve been through
If we hold on to love- just one more night

Well find forever- after all
After all this time
After all weve been through
If we hold on to love- just one more night

Well find forever- after all
After all, after all, after all

１９６１年２月生於亞利桑那州的琳達艾德（Linda Eder）是美國歌手兼演員。

１９８９年２月，２８歲的琳達推出首張大碟［Vienna／維也納］（專輯早期在英國以［Linda Eder］為名發行）（RCA唱片發行）

專輯中的［After All／終究］在１９９０年推出單曲

Frank Wildhorn, John Bettis創作，Karl Richardson製作成一首成人流行抒情曲，

旋律優美，編曲精緻光滑，琳達以她清亮高亢的聲音娓娓演繹，從輕吟到激昂，

循序漸次將歌曲帶向高潮，感性動人．

只是市場反應冷淡，大碟與單曲皆未打入排行榜．

與同年雪兒（Cher）與Peter Cetera合唱的另一首熱門曲［After All］命運迥異．
