John, I'm sorry for the delay
I thought I would write anyway
Now you're gone, and there's nothing to say
But I made the big breakthrough today
I've discovered the fact that there's life after John
John, it's nothing deep or profound
But I think I've finally found
What was wrong
Now that you're not around
I'm up here with my feet on the ground
When I'd never have thought
There'd be life after John
Life after John
And though it seems like a shame to start again
I know the future can't be the same
As the years that have gone
Life goes on
John, if you had stayed here at home
Maybe I'd never have known
How strong I can be on my own
And though sometimes I still feel alone
I've discovered the fact that there's life after John
Life after John
John, I'm sorry for the delay
I thought I would write anyway
Now you're gone, and there's nothing to say
But I made the big breakthrough today
I've discovered the fact that there's life after John
Life after John
Life after John, life after John
