For All We Know
Jerri Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We may never meet again
Before we go
Make this moment live again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This might only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Oh, but tomorrow
But tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
The song "For All We Know" by Jerri Adams was released in 1958 as a part of her album "It's Cool Inside". The song is a mellow, romantic ballad that explores the uncertain nature of life and the transience of love. The lyrics of the song suggest that time is fleeting and that one should cherish the moments of joy that life brings, as one may never know when they'll come to an end. The opening lines of the song "For all we know, we may never meet again, before we go, make this moment live again" set the tone for what the rest of the song will be about.
The song invokes the imagery of ripples in a river, suggesting that just as the ripples in a stream come and go, so do the people and the moments in our lives. The lyrics call for living in the present moment and enjoying the love and romance that is present, as tomorrow may never come. The line "So baby, love me, love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some, oh, but tomorrow, but tomorrow may never, never come" feels poignant and emotional, driving home the message that life is unpredictable, and we must make the most of every moment.
