About For All We Know

"For All We Know" is a popular song published in 1934, with music by J. Fred Coots and lyric by Sam M. Lewis. There are alternate verses but the main lyrics start: "For all we know we may never meet again". Popular versions in 1934 were by Hal Kemp (vocal by Skinnay Ennis) and Isham Jones (vocal by Joe Martin). The song has been recorded by a host of artists including Nina Simone, Al Martino, The Andrews Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Crystal Gayle, Dinah Washington, Doris Day, Joanie Sommers, Fran Jeffries, Bette Midler, Nat King Cole, Rod Stewart, and Rosemary Clooney. The version by Dinah Washington reached #88 on the chart in 1962. A version by The Spinners in 1965 gave it a more contemporary sound. The Rosemary Clooney version is heard over the closing credits of Dan Ireland's 2005 British film, Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont. The Bette Midler version was featured in the 1991 film, For the Boys. The Donny Hathaway version from the LP Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (Atlantic, 1972) has become one of the standout versions of the song. A cover by Abbey Lincoln was featured prominently in the Gus Van Sant film Drugstore Cowboy.

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I might hold out my hand
Check, 'cause my heart's gonna be in it

Oh, for all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come, oh
For all we know
So love, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
