All That Matters (Original Broadway Cast Recording) Lyrics

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

There is an easier 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!!!!
