    Story Behind the Song
    Inspired by the following poem
    "After a While"
    (Author's note: This poem has been plagiarized, bastardized, renamed, reworded, redesigned, expanded and reduced. But it is my work, which I wrote at the age of 19 and had published in my college yearbook. Why anyone would want to claim it is beyond me, but for what it's worth, I wrote it, and if I'd known it was going to be this popular, I'd have done a better job of it. - V.S.)

    After a while you learn
    the subtle difference between
    holding a hand and chaining a soul
    and you learn
    that love doesn't mean leaning
    and company doesn't always mean security.
    And you begin to learn
    that kisses aren't contracts
    and presents aren't promises
    and you begin to accept your defeats
    with your head up and your eyes ahead
    with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
    and you learn
    to build all your roads on today
    because tomorrow's ground is
    too uncertain for plans
    and futures have a way of falling down
    in mid-flight.
    After a while you learn
    that even sunshine burns
    If you get too much
    so you plant your own garden
    and decorate your own soul
    instead of waiting for someone
    to bring you flowers.
    And you learn that you really can endure
    you really are strong
    you really do have worth
    and you learn
    and you learn
    with every goodbye, you learn...

    Lyrics
    In Your Corner
    words and music J. Blaney

    You know I never learn
    That even sunshine burns
    You got plant your own garden
    Cause no ones going to give you flowers
    The minutes like the moments
    Get lost in the hours

    Loving you was easy
    Losing you was hard
    I can forgive all the confusion
    Even the best of us fall
    We all fall down

    (chorus)

    And you're out on your own
    And where ever you may go
    You'll never be alone
    I'm always in your corner
    And those feelings come back to haunt you
    With the pain that they all brought you
    And the lessons that they all taught you
    I'm always in your corner
    I'm always in your corner

    Your eyes are going to shine
    In somebody else's sky
    I don't mind I don't mind
    Don't look back keep on going
    There is know way of knowing
    For who is to blame who is at fault
    Remember what we have not what we lost

    (chorus)

    And you're out on your own
    And where ever you may go
    You'll never be alone
    I'm always in your corner
    And those feelings come back to haunt you
    With the pain that they all brought you
    And the lessons that they all taught you
    I'm always in your corner
    I'm always in your corner

    People come and go
    And all the seasons change
    I'm always in corner
    And there I will always remain
