For All We Know
Ephemeral Moments: Rod Stewart's Poetic Reflection on Love
Lyrics
For all we know
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
We may never meet again
Suggesting that the possibility of not meeting again exists.
Before you go
Addressing the imminent departure of a person.
Make this moment sweet again
Desiring to make the current moment memorable and enjoyable.
We won't say goodnight
Committing to not bid farewell until the very last moment.
Until the last minute
Emphasizing the delay in saying goodbye.
I'll hold out my hand
Extending a hand, possibly for a final touch or connection.
And my heart will be in it
Expressing deep emotional involvement, as the heart is invested in the farewell.
For all we know
Reiterating the uncertainty of the situation.
This may only be a dream
Suggesting that the current experience might be fleeting or unreal.
We come and go
Highlighting the transient nature of human existence.
Like a ripple on a stream
Comparing life's journey to a ripple on a stream, emphasizing its fleeting nature.
So love me, tonight
Expressing a desire for love in the present moment.
Tomorrow was made for some
Suggesting that tomorrow holds promises for some, but not necessarily for everyone.
Tomorrow may never come
Highlighting the uncertainty of the future, implying that it might not come for everyone.
For all we know
Repeating the theme of uncertainty and the unknown.
Tomorrow may never come
Reiterating the idea that tomorrow is not guaranteed for everyone.
For all we know
Concluding with a restatement of the overarching theme of uncertainty in life.
