Edwyn Collins
All That Ever Mattered
It may sound corny
But you were all that ever mattered
And I can still hear your laughter
As it echoes through the years
And if perchance we meet again
Please don’t pass me by
If a body meets a body
Coming through the rye

You see, I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me
No, I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me

I tell ya, I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me
No, I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me

You were all that ever mattered
And in the aftermath
You just gotta laugh at it all
Didn't we have ourselves a ball?
Painting the town
A lurid red then
Home to the warmth of my makeshift bed
I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me
No, I never realized
Till’ our demise
How much you meant to me

I never realized
Till’ our demise
