Sooner Or Late
Fleetwood Mac · Other Songs - Fleetwood Mac
In my heart and in my mind
And look towards the future
Leaving the past behind
Well maybe it's the season
That season of the year
Defying all my reason
I just want you to be here
I want you to be here
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
I want you to be here
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
And though it's not the first time
I've thought of you this way
The darkness of the winter
Keeps my happiness at bay
It's easy to forget you
In the summer, in the light
With the days of lazy laughter
And sweet, sweet dreams in the night
Sweet dreams in the night
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
Sweet dreams in the night
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
S all I really mean is
When all is said and all is done
It's all because of you babe
That I'm the lucky one
I am the lucky one
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
I am the lucky one
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
I am the lucky one
Sooner or later
Sooner or later I'll forget
I am the lucky one
Sooner or later
Sooner Or Late - Fleetwood Mac
Released on the 1990 album Behind The Mask, 'Sooner Or Late' stands as a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the inevitability of aging. Recorded during a period when Fleetwood Mac was navigating significant personnel changes and personal challenges, the track captures a mature, introspective tone distinct from the band's earlier psychedelic rock era. The song features a steady, driving rhythm that underscores its lyrical focus on the relentless forward motion of life. As part of the band's later discography, it serves as a testament to their enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant music that addresses universal themes of mortality and acceptance, maintaining their signature blend of rock and folk sensibilities.
