License This Song 

• A faded wedding photograph
  You and me in our first dance
  Our eyes are closed
  We're lost in one sweet embrace
  Since those days the world has changed
  But our love remains the same
  God knows we've had our share of saving grace
  
  And I'm proud of all the blessings
  You have given me
  The mountains we have climbed to get this far
  You've learned to take the laughter with the tears
  After all these years
  
  You make it feel brand new
  After the fires that we walked through
  Against the odds we never lost our faith
  
  In our house we've made our home
  Where our children all have grown
  Precious moments time cannot erase
  
  Make a living up and down the gypsy highways
  Seasons that we've had to share apart
  Somehow in my heart I always keep you near me
  After all these years
  
  After all these years
  You stood by me
  The days and nights that I was gone
  After all these years
  You sacrificed, believed in me
  And you stood strong
  Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
  After all these years
  
  After all these years
  You stood by me
  The days and nights that I was gone
  After all these years
  You've sacrificed, believed in me
  And you stood strong
  Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
  After all these years Publisher: Hipgnosis Songs Group

• Eliana from CharlestonLove that song. Arnell nails every note. I wish I could have gone to one of Journey’s concerts in their hay day. To hear that silver tongue rascal, Steve Perry, sing “Faithfully” live would have made my life’s journey (no pun intended) so much better.
• Great Job Guys from TxIts too bad Journey came to an end. I guess go out on top.
• Keitha from MissouriThis song brings me to tears. My husband and I are going on 38 years of marriage and have stood the test of time. Good times and the bad here we still stand. Beautiful song Journey.
