For You, For Me, For Evermore
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Never such a happy pair
Everybody must excuse us
If we walk on air
All the shadows now will lose us
Lucky stars are everywhere
As a happy being
Here's what I'm foreseeing
For you, for me, forever more
It's bound to be forever more
It's plain to see
We found, by finding each other
The love we waited for
I'm yours, you're mine
And in our hearts
The happy ending starts
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, forever more
What a lovely world
This world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, forever more
For You, For Me, For Evermore

Recorded during the height of her career, the track showcases her unparalleled vocal agility and emotional depth, characteristic of her work in the swing and jazz standards repertoire. The song, often performed with her legendary trio or in duet with her husband Louis Armstrong, highlights Fitzgerald's ability to convey intimacy and longing through her voice alone. As a staple of her discography, the recording captures the essence of mid-20th-century jazz performance, where technical precision met profound emotional expression. It remains a cherished piece within her catalog, frequently featured in compilations that celebrate her contributions to American music history.
