For All We Know
Embracing the Uncertainty: For All We Know by Milt Jackson
Lyrics
For all we know
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
We may never meet again
Acknowledging the possibility of not meeting again.
Before we go
Before parting, emphasizing the importance of the present moment.
Make this moment live again
Desiring to make the current moment memorable and meaningful.
We won't say goodbye
Committing to avoid saying goodbye until the last possible moment.
Until the last minute
Stating a determination to hold on until the final instant.
I'll hold out my hand
Extending a symbolic gesture of connection through holding out a hand.
And my heart will be in it
Expressing sincere emotional involvement, with the heart fully engaged.
For all we know
Reiterating the uncertainty of the future.
This might only be a dream
Suggesting that the present experience could be fleeting or unreal.
We come and we go
Highlighting the transient nature of life, with arrivals and departures.
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
Drawing a metaphor between life's journey and ripples in a stream.
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Expressing a plea for love and affection in the current moment.
Tomorrow was made for some
Suggesting that tomorrow holds opportunities for others.
Oh, but tomorrow
Acknowledging the existence of tomorrow but emphasizing the present.
But tomorrow may never, never come
Cautioning that tomorrow may not arrive for some individuals.
For all we know
Repeating the theme of uncertainty about the future.
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
Reiterating the idea that tomorrow is not guaranteed for everyone.
For all we know
Summarizing the overarching theme of uncertainty and the importance of the present moment.
