Tom Walker - All That Matters (Acoustic) Lyrics

Tom Walker Lyrics

"All That Matters (Acoustic)"

And she said, I was young once darling
I never gave up
I've seen trouble come through my door
Rain poured down like there's no tomorrow
Raised three children in the same room
And thirty years later I raise you
Watched him run, no he ain't come back
But that's just life and I can't change that
Darling

Trouble comes and trouble goes
But Tom, you really ought to know

Love is all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
That's all that matters in the end

She said, you can take tough, darling
It runs in your blood
There were nights that I never slept
The world weighed heavy upon my chest
I took on cancer when I reign through
Eleven years later, still with you
So don't you ever give up on hope
'Cause you might break but you won't stay broke
And darling

Trouble comes and trouble goes
But Tom, you really ought to know

Love is all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end

I said I swear I'm gonna do you proud
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Hold on to all this love I found
When I'm old, I'll say the same things
To my kids, give 'em what you gave me
I'll tell 'em everything you said

Love is all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
Can't spend your money when you're dead
Can't live this life again
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
It's all that matters
Yeah it's messed up
But we got love
Least we got love
That's all that matters in the end
That's all that matters in the end

"I sat with my grandmother one night and had a few drinks, and we kind of unintentionally got drunk together and she just sat and chatted about her whole life and there were so many things that I knew but I didn't know the detail of them; I didn't know like the intricacies of the story. She's like 82 years old and I just thought it was fascinating, so 2 weeks later I just sat down and wrote a song with a couple of friends of mine about it." - Tom Walker.
