For All We Know
Nina Simone攀 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
"For All We Know" is a poignant and sentimental love ballad that expresses the uncertainty that comes with love. The first verse opens by acknowledging that meeting again in the future is not guaranteed. The second line expresses the desperation to make the moment count, to ensure that the memory lasts. The next line encourages us to delay farewell, to hold out for one more moment together. The fourth line signifies the unity between two people and despite the likelihood of never seeing each other again; the singer promises to hold out her heart and hand to show that she cares.
The second verse in "For All We Know" emphasises the transience of life and love. It reinforces that people come into our lives like ripples in a stream, coming and going. Therefore, while the feeling lasts, seize the moment and have a one night love affair. The next two lines concede that some people are destined to be together, but not everyone is, yet hope remains. The last line expresses the same sentiment as in the first verse, that we have to treasure the current moment because tomorrow is not promised to us, and we may never meet again.

You are absolutely right! There's other people that find something unique about you that you don't see yourself. When you look in the mirror you just see your reflection of your self........not beyond the art of a master piece which is yourself of being a human canvas that someone besides yourself paint you as 🎨🎭. If that makes sense!
