All That Matters Lyrics

(Performed by Laura Michelle Kelly as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies in Act One of the show. The pre-chorus is meant to be sung in Ab major, and so is the chorus, but the verses are meant to be sung in Bb major. Enjoy!!!!)

SYLVIA (Laura):
There are days when I feel so afraid I
Can hardly remember to breathe
When reality crashes is wave after wave
Pulling me farther beneath
So what's the point in planning for a future
If it all can be stolen away?
It's all I can do to hold on and survive
When the colors have faded to grey.

(pre chorus)
But my children need so much more from me
And they give me the strength to go on
Whatever may come

(chorus)
And all that matters now
Is where I go from here
I know I'll find a way
If I live for today
The beating of my heart
Is all that matters

(verse)
He makes sense of all of my chaos
In ways I can never explain
He turns all of my sadness into a smile
He's helping me live life again!!!
It's the light in the eyes of my children
It's the sound of their laughter once more
It's a glimpse of a life I dared only to dream
And a dream only life could restore!!

(pre chorus)
And I know that some
May not understand
But he's guiding me safely to shore
Not afraid anymore

(chorus)
And all that matters now
Is where I go from here
There's an easier way
If I live for today
The singing in my heart
Is all that matters.

It takes me far away!!
There's an easier way
If I live for today
The singing in my heart
Is
All
That
Matters!!!!
