For All We Know
Rebecca Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripple on a stream
So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know, we know
So love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know, we know
