After the guns are silent  After your wounds have healed  After those crosses been planted in all those fields  After that long boat ride all the way across the sea  And after this train carries thee  ----------------------------Chorus---------------------  I will love you after the war  Love you for always, forever more  I will love you after the war  Forever, for always and more  -------------------------------------------------------  After your boots dry and the tobacco is all but gone  Along with all those post cards you’ve carried under your arm  After I remember all the words I could not say  And after this long night fades away  ----------------------------Chorus---------------------  I will love you after the war  Love you for always, forever more  I will love you after the war  Forever, for always and more  -------------------------------------------------------  After this blackbird lifts from up off your chest  And after your soul takes its final rest  My love I forgive you, you never planned to die  And love I’ll place two pennies over your eyes  ----------------------------Chorus---------------------  I will love you after the war  Love you for always, forever more  I will love you after the war  Forever, for always and more  -------------------------------------------------------
