From the recording Faith and Reflection
Description: This is an anniversary song and a companion to I Loved You in My Yesterdays. So, you may ask, why do we write these ballads that celebrate love, faithfulness, gratitude, etc. Two reasons: First, to prove that we are not the cynical old bastards people think we are. Second, there are a fair number of people who actually have found a fulfilling relationship—and a whole lot of others who are hoping that they can. In other words, there’s a market for sweet songs like the ones we write. If you doubt that, record and release them and see what happens.
Artist Fit: This song fits artists who excel at heartfelt, real‑life love stories and emotionally grounded ballads. Strong fits include Ed Sheeran (ballad lane), James Arthur, Dan + Shay (acoustic/cinematic lane), Brett Young, Lady A, and Calum Scott. It also aligns with artists who lean into nostalgic, relationship‑focused storytelling with a modern adult contemporary feel.
Sync Keywords: wedding, anniversary, family memories, true love, long-term relationship, nostalgia, emotional reflection, cinematic romance, life milestones, heartfelt storytelling.
Lyrics
I knew the kind of girl
that I was looking for,
A strong, determined mind,
A warm and willing soul.
But there’s a lot of crazy
That’s out there in the world,
I thought that I would never
Find that kind of girl.
But after I met you,
It was after that I knew,
That there could be a love
That after all was true.
And on our wedding day,
We pledged our vows and then
You danced once with your Dad,
And we partied with our friends.
That was many years
And several kids ago,
But it feels like yesterday,
And I just want you to know.
That after I met you,
It was after that I knew,
That there could be a love
That after all was true.
Yes, after I met you,
It was after that I knew,
That there could be a love
That after all was true.
