For All We Know

Tommy Dorsey · Other Songs - Tommy Dorsey

For all we know

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, a romantic ballad with a memorable melody, exemplifies the lush harmonies and polished production characteristic of Dorsey's discography during the mid-1940s. It captures the optimistic yet tender spirit of the period, showcasing Dorsey's ability to blend vocal talent with the infectious energy of his orchestra. This track remains a significant song in the catalog of popular music from the swing era, reflecting the era's emphasis on vocal-led jazz and danceable pop standards.
