After The Thrill Is Gone
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1975



Same dances in the same old shoes 
Some habits that you just can't lose 
There's no telling what a man might lose
After the thrill is gone 

The flame rises but it soon descends 
Empty pages and a frozen pen 
You're not quite lovers and you're not quite friends 
After the thrill is gone, oh, 
After the thrill is gone 

What can you do when your dreams come true 
And it's not quite like you planned? 
What have you done to be losing the one 
You held it so tight in your hand well 

Time passes and you must move on, 
Half the distance takes you twice as long 
So you keep on singing for the sake of the song 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone 

You're afraid you might fall out of fashion 
And you're feeling cold and small 
Any kind of love without passion 
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well 

Same dances in the same old shoes 
You get too careful with the steps you choose 
you don't care about winning but you don't want to lose 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone 
After the thrill is gone, oh 
After the thrill is gone
