I feel the same way. My first boyfriend from 1955, stopped seeing each other in the ‘60s and got back together in ‘72, stopped seeing each other in the ‘80s, gave me away in my commitment ceremony on 02/29/96, made his transition on the same date in 2020, loved this song. When I hear Mr. Hathaway do this, I tear up, for real! Much love James from me!
That line is one of the most powerful lyrics in the song. It's such an emotional song. Tomorrow, may never come! I worry about the time I have left on this earth.
@@estercarr4572 don’t worry about that. Thank God for a long life. You shall live long in Jesus name. Cast your worries on Jesus. He cares for you. God bless you. 🙏🏽
What a great singer is, no oversinging, no 100 note runs, knowing how important those moments of silence are when the music comes forward. And when his voice meets Roberta Flacks, lord, nothing like it.
You've summed it up for me. That's the perfect way to put it. It's just pure talent. I always tell my cousin that he has a very clean voice. He's not about different runs but he's a vocal beast
I'm facing one of the hardest times in my life, battling depression, a lost marriage and family, recently laid off from a job. I don't know where the road will lead, I know tomorrow is never promised, so to stay alive and well, I will wish everyone of you the greatest gift I can give you..my prayer, for you and your loves, your dreams which you feel are dead are never until you are. Your light shines in a corner of the world to someone's darkness, someone you may never see, but they see that light, through your words, from your soul you can reach them, even but one, to save their life and let them hold on to just one word, to keep them alive for just one more minute, to see another hour shine like the sun. To make it through the day, to kiss the sweet spot of their pillow before the night may close on all hopes. This is my prayer.
I'm reading this later but empathize I faced similiar trials. But your resilience and your strength will supercede the trauma of life. PPC a positive peer culture. My brother.
One of my favorite songs of all time. I just sent this to someone who will prob never comprehend how much I truly love her.. Some people only love being loved but they don’t have the courage to release the love they have been given..
My husband passed away this year and this was the song I had played at his memorial service. I don't think I could have chose a more appropriate song and Donny Hathaway was the best singer ever. Donny made you feel so much emotion and he made it seem effortless.
I think of Donny everyime I hear this song played after last call in bars across the country. It's a hook up song they love to play at the end of the evening.
Proof positive that the most touching lyrics are often also the most simple. Well written by J Fred Coots (music) and Sam Lewis (lyrics) and beautifully vocalized by the incomparable Mr. Donny Hathaway--forever loved, forever missed.
For all we know We may never meet again Before you go Make this moment sweet again We won't say goodnight Until the last minute I will hold out my hand And my heart will be in it For all we know This may only be a dream We come and we go Like the ripples of a stream So love me Love me tonight Tomorrow was made for some Tomorrow may never come For all we know
@@junebermingham9300 Not a sad song for some. It can be a song for last chance happiness. They played this song at my 85yr old grandmother's wedding. She married for the last time. God bless you NANA. RIP.
I've been singing for over 25 years.I have sung with the very best that there is to sing from Barbara Mason to Patti LaBelle and everyone in between and I still do not believe that I ever heard a better voice than Donny Hathaway.
As much as I love Stevie Wonder as one of my greatest singers I have to admit that Donny has him beat by just a tad because he sang with so much emotion. His daughters voice has that same effect on me. Have you heard her sing "A song for you"? Watch her sing her dads song at the Apollo.(You tube). I cry.
He brings you to tears.... Donny's vocal choices. His decisions, the always exquisite delivery....Knowing when to sustain and when to run.. Donny's use of spacing, his immaculate phrasing, and musical timing all envelope the most passionate interpretations love and life ever penned....This is Genius. Donny Hathaway.
It took me awhile to write this Mama…. I Love You so much and I miss you terribly. But you now hold hands with the Lord, and John, and Aunt Nita, and Gran, and Grandma and Granddad….and I’m happy for you. I pray I can walk in the path that will make you proud. I Love you so much Mother.
"For All We Know" was composed by John Frederick Coots, Music and Lyrics by Samuel M. Lewis, 1934. I've heard dozens of renditions of this song and Donny Hathaway's is by far the most soulful. Thank you gentlemen for composing it and Mr. Hathaway for your version. So beautiful. Respectfully, Leo Ameruba
Listen to Donny. I truly get lost in the vibrato and melody of his heart felt meaningful words as he captures my soul with his breath and patience to deliver a timely peace of vocal art. One could say it's no way a man can write and sing, as well as deliver a song like this unless he truly lived it. His vocal talents reaches beyond ur soul and brings you right in to his very moment. At some point in our lives we all have experienced the same things he has,however Donny brung those emotions to life. Donny Hathaway is truly missed and I can say this,he was well before my time but I know real music and I truly appreciate real music. 🙏🏾
My youngest son is locked up for something he didn't do. This song is so beautiful it hurts 🌻🌻🌻🥰🥰🥰I pray everyday God have mercy on him and us as a family🙏🏽
@ Gwendolyn Bradley I’m a send a prayer up for ya son sweetie because I’ve been there my daughter was in the FEDS and I had to raise her daughter for 3 years so my heart goes out to you.
To the seventy eight people that didn't like this i'm truly lost for words for you. I know you have a right to like what you like, but you must have been under the influence of something..lol Donny was a true artist that never will be duplicated. He had a true gift from God We should cherish his life and work.
I can sense the pain in his voice. This is a deep song, I'm speechless. My child's Father told me to listen to this today. I lost my Uncle to Covid last month & needed to hear this ❤
I lost my mum during covid, still hurts so so bad, she was first saved from a heart attack and then bringing her to another hospital she was infected due to such bad organisation of so many things and she was infected, they never told me of what ??? And we lost her, such a special and gifted angel, she too was such a talented singer 💔💔💔🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍👎👎👎💔💔💔
it is exactly what god wanted me to listen to tonight.. after grieving over very young nephew who took his life this last Sunday such a loss.. but for we all know...
May your nephew's soul find the peace he couldn't find here on Earth. And may you and your family find solace knowing he is no longer hurting. God bless
I miss Donny, we never got to really know him. I was so young when he was taken away from us I always request a Donny song from my son who can sing his songs Glad we have layla Hathaway
I lost my father last year. He passed on Saint Patrick's Day. I would have seen him that night and spent it with him, my brothers, nephews and friends. We always hung out on Fridays. Laughing, arguing, drinking and listening to music. It was the best times. Things aren't the same now. I'm so blessed to have had him. For him to see my sons grow and for them to know their grandfather. Forever the life of the party. He was 83. I love you and miss you more then I can ever express Pop. I hope you understand and forgive me for some of the things that I never thought to say.
When I got the call that my father was about to pass on at 88 years old I got to the hospital in time to say goodbye. He had a tube in his neck for breathing and a blank stare on his face. I began to wail. Suddenly a feeling came over me. I pulled myself together and apologized for being selfish for just wanting him here and not thinking about how he’d become a shell of himself. When I said I’m sorry I know you’re tired and God wants you back home with him. He loved you first best and more than I ever could. Please forgive me. A tear rolled out his beautiful brown eyes onto his handsome face. I knew then he heard me. As long as you gave your dad his flowers while he could smell them, trust me he knows how you feel. God Bless☮️💙🙏🏽
Ithinkthis is the most BEAUTIFUL lovesong I have ever heard in mylife🌹💝🙏😔🙄😥😌 but I didn't know it exsisteduntil 2 months ago🤔LOVE you Donny Hathaway❤️👏👍🙏✌️
This song hits so many cords and for me it's a repass song, a love song, a break up song, a first love/date song, "for all we know this may only be a dream, we come and go. Tomorrow was made for some, tomorrow may never come for all we know"
I love this dude so much. His vocals, arrangement, the tone of his voice. Such an amazing spirit in his music and will forever be a part of my life. Thank you Donny wherever your spirit may fly, I wish you peace and one day, ill get a chance to tell you how much your music has made an impact on me and my life.
I honestly didn't "know" his music until about 10 years ago.. I knew the usual stuff but not this stuff and please don't hate me but I'm beginning to think he has Stevie beat vocally. Don't get me wrong instrumental NOBODY touches Stevie but Donnie remade Super Woman and OMFG he MURDERED it LIVE!!!!! I feel so shame, as if I'm cheating on Stevie lol..
David Howard My sister speaks so warmly of him - she was at Howard after he left, and he would stop by the HUFA building to see what he could do to help up and coming musicians and singers. Truly a loss. What a voice.
Are you kidding??!! This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. LISTEN to his voice and the emotion he projects. Amazing and forever one of the best songs ever.
October 14, 2024 🙋🏽♀️Donny is on playlists in heavy rotation so I hear a little bit of Donny everyday. His voice is clear and flawless and doesn’t need to overdo or run every note to the extreme. My favorite singer of all time. RIP 🤴🏾Donny😢you are definitely one of a kind and will always live in my heart😢🕊🕊🕊💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
There are few artists that can bring forth such joy & pain thru their voice, their music. Donny's one of em. Great music always outlive its era & the musician, it continues to live, to evoke, to move ppl. I have feelings of happiness & sadness, makes me think about my mom, who went on to Glory, early 2011. She introduced me to Donny Hathaway's music as a child. Hearing his music, this song particularly, I can see her thru him. Rest in paradise mom & Donny!!
My dad introduced me to Donny too as a kid and I always loved playing his albums and laying on the floor in front of the stereo reading over the album cover.... ahhhh the good ole days!! And even now his voice just makes me well up inside, soooo moving!! In tears just listening to this right now! Just simply amazing!! Can never be duplicated!!!
There is songs, that shouldn't be sung by anybody else but the ones who sang it in the way nobody else will ever be able to .... Donnie, i'm waiting for you in the resurrection to sing again..
No one can touch me with this song like Donny Hathaway...I can't even put it in to words...its sureal every time I listen to him...deeply spiritual...simply magical!
I was watching this show called Pose. And the guy in show sang the shit out of this song, much better than the original. Check it out it gives me chills
The man had a voice and a talent that were truly otherworldly. His rendition of "For All We Know" is one of my all-time favorite songs. Today Donny would have turned 70 (October 1, 1945). He may no longer be with us but thankfully his voice lives on in his recordings.
Donny captures the essence of what a love song should not only sound like but FEEL like...lsiten at him emphasize LOVE ME TONITE...TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME...If you've ever been in real love, this touches a part of the soul that cannot be corrupted...beautiful
ALL that Mr Hathaway had on his ❤️ and the fight that was in his mind. He still shared the part of love for us he had. And still today we still are enjoying it. To the family. A few of us still cherish his voice and the strength that he is still giving us 2023 .
So many beautiful things said about Donny by people here.. There's not much i can add.. Truly God given talent way ahead of his time taken from us way to soon!!! Iam sure he's in the front row singing praises to Our Lord in Heaven!!!
You can't learn how to sing this way! The quality the voice control the perfect and the right amount of vibrato can be enhanced by a vocal teacher however the sweetness the pure resonance and the quality and sweetness of that voice was made by The Master Potter Himself God Almighty! God given talent is what you hear! RIP Donny you were going through some bouts of depression and you took your life one night but I know that Tho some might disagree I believe your in the Hands of The Master Himself!
Of course not only am I listening but I am completely amazed each and every time I hear this. His voice has yet to be out sung. He is so pure and pitch perfect . Tone and vibrato are perfect ! Such a moving piece of art. Such a shame he left us so soon.
Angel - Unfortunately, God did not rescue him from his serious problems and give him more peace of mind.God allows a great deal of unspeakable acts to transpire on this planet of ours and should take some of the blame for not interceding! After all,terrible things are happening on his watch, and we should expect if not demand more help from Him. I love God but he is not perfect or above criticism.
His voice was pure and raw soul...so vulnerable, true soul. You feel every note, a masterpiece to say the least. What a gift from God to us all...Mr.Donny Hathaway.
He had such a good voice. A voice you don't hear much and when you hear it, well if you remember the 70's, you think oh, thats Donny Hathaway! Well at least I do! Its unforgetable.
Great tribute to Kobe Bryant by Jennifer Hudson. She sang this song so beautifully. It was so touching! We will miss Kobe and Gigi! Praying for the families who lost their loved ones. May God be with you all. R.I.P. to a a legend and his princess! 💜🧡
Donny Hathaway is an absolute master hands down he's taken a jazz song makes it in a contemporary classical music form and sing it like no one could ever do he's done the impossible.
It's 2024 March, who's still listening to this beautiful song??
Truly it’s beautiful xx
Always mesmerizing...Donnys voice!
I Am🌹
Me too! A forever classic ❤️

2023 and this is still so beautiful. Timeless!

I have to be careful where I listen to this, because it brings me to tears every time. What a magnificent singer.

I feel the same way. My first boyfriend from 1955, stopped seeing each other in the ‘60s and got back together in ‘72, stopped seeing each other in the ‘80s, gave me away in my commitment ceremony on 02/29/96, made his transition on the same date in 2020, loved this song.

I stand in front of my Mothers GRAVE and smile with this playing! I used to always sing it to her! 😍😍😢😢😢 I LOVE YOU JACKIE THOMAS!
REST WELL MOMMA! 💯💯
you touched my heart Pren
💔😢😘
Your soul is beautiful ❤
Rip queen
How beautiful
For me, the most beautiful part of this song is that he ends on a high note, which means hope.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Tomorrow was made for some. Tomorrow may never come" The power in that line..... Has helped me a lot
That line is one of the most powerful lyrics in the song. It's such an emotional song. Tomorrow, may never come! I worry about the time I have left on this earth.
@@estercarr4572 Hello! As long as you walk with God, you won't have to worry 🤗 Keep your head up, everything is going to be alright
@@estercarr4572 don’t worry about that. Thank God for a long life. You shall live long in Jesus name. Cast your worries on Jesus. He cares for you. God bless you. 🙏🏽

Clarence Henderson I am especially with Kobe Tribute by Jennifer
Perfect tribute song!
I am listening to this in 2020 😞😞😞😞😭
The uncertainty of our future regarding the virus, the current political climate, the earth's changes brought me here. For all we know...
I just played this for my Grandmother day b4 yesterday as she went home to be with God, her husband of 64yrs and her Mom. Tears.
I'm listening...2024 for all we know
His voice is immaculate
There are singers who have a voice..Mr Hathaway had an "instrument!"...pure perfection!
+Zachary Lavender Indeed! His soulfulness was indescribable. I absolutely love his voice/instrument.
Zachary Lavender
So pure...
Very much so!
Billy Porter singing this beautiful song in the Netflix series Pose brought me here. I'm so happy to hear Donny's masterful version.
Same here. I was in absolute tears at Pray Tell singing to his dying lover, OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Me too!!
This is 100% how I found this song as well. Porter brought tears to my eyes and you could feel every word.
Just rewatched the episode... 😢🥰
AzucaNegra16 that’s why I’m here! I loved it so much when he sang it. Simply Beautiful and make you appreciate life even more.
The CHI brought me here haven't heard this song in years. Just a beautiful song
Why this does not have mega million views i will never know. This is absolutely stunning. He was a master vocalist.

I think of Donny everyime I hear this song played after last call in bars across the country. It's a hook up song they love to play at the end of the evening.
Because so many don't appreciate GREAT music!

This song is probably the greatest song I've heard in my life
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I will hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples of a stream
So love me
Love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Even the words give me chills

I honestly didn't "know" his music until about 10 years ago.. I knew the usual stuff but not this stuff and please don't hate me but I'm beginning to think he has Stevie beat vocally. Don't get me wrong instrumental NOBODY touches Stevie but Donnie remade Super Woman and OMFG he MURDERED it LIVE!!!!! I feel so shame, as if I'm cheating on Stevie lol..
Yes, he was a dream that came true! Perfect in everyway! I hope he's finding much peace, because he gives me peace listening to his beautiful music!
David Howard Indeed !.
David Howard My sister speaks so warmly of him - she was at Howard after he left, and he would stop by the HUFA building to see what he could do to help up and coming musicians and singers.
Truly a loss. What a voice.
+Anastasia Beaverhausen No, you aren't cheating.................enjoy it all......it's there for all of us.....................
I'm listening to this song ❤️ in 2024❤

Priceless. They don’t sing like this no more ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
October 14, 2024 🙋🏽♀️Donny is on playlists in heavy rotation so I hear a little bit of Donny everyday. His voice is clear and flawless and doesn’t need to overdo or run every note to the extreme. My favorite singer of all time. RIP 🤴🏾Donny😢you are definitely one of a kind and will always live in my heart😢🕊🕊🕊💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
There are few artists that can bring forth such joy & pain thru their voice, their music. Donny's one of em. Great music always outlive its era & the musician, it continues to live, to evoke, to move ppl. I have feelings of happiness & sadness, makes me think about my mom, who went on to Glory, early 2011. She introduced me to Donny Hathaway's music as a child. Hearing his music, this song particularly, I can see her thru him. Rest in paradise mom & Donny!!
nerdbama rich aw...thanx!
My dad introduced me to Donny too as a kid and I always loved playing his albums and laying on the floor in front of the stereo reading over the album cover.... ahhhh the good ole days!! And even now his voice just makes me well up inside, soooo moving!! In tears just listening to this right now! Just simply amazing!! Can never be duplicated!!!
Shdel Harrell NEVER be duplicated! Great story!
So well said.
aw your sweet comment made me cry haha. blessings to you
There is songs, that shouldn't be sung by anybody else but the ones who sang it in the way nobody else will ever be able to .... Donnie, i'm waiting for you in the resurrection to sing again..
Rachel from the Voice Talent show did a splendid job. Her interpretation is magical. Rachel captured the essence of "For all we know" beautifully.
I still listen to this and it always bring me to tears,longing for my.beloved husband
No one can touch me with this song like Donny Hathaway...I can't even put it in to words...its sureal every time I listen to him...deeply spiritual...simply magical!
We are in the same vein! On of my favorites!
I was watching this show called Pose. And the guy in show sang the shit out of this song, much better than the original. Check it out it gives me chills
@@jennifergordon2101 Bye.
This is gorgeous Donny Hathaway songs will teach you everything you need to know about musical composition
I heard an American Idol contestant sing this tonight for the first time and it brought tears. I absolutely love it.
Same!
The gentleman did an amazing job
Same here, it was beautiful.
Jennifer Hudson sang it as a tribute to Kobe and his daughter at the all star game as well it was beautiful
Living this right now. Please pray for me. 🙏🏿
The man had a voice and a talent that were truly otherworldly. His rendition of "For All We Know" is one of my all-time favorite songs. Today Donny would have turned 70 (October 1, 1945). He may no longer be with us but thankfully his voice lives on in his recordings.
His daughter Lalal sounds just like him
The most Beautifull Song I listen In My Whole Life Donny Hathaway Forever
one of the most gorgeous, beautiful voices of all time
Donny captures the essence of what a love song should not only sound like but FEEL like...lsiten at him emphasize LOVE ME TONITE...TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME...If you've ever been in real love, this touches a part of the soul that cannot be corrupted...beautiful
well said manb4war
Gives me chills every time I listen to it. I feel EVERY EMOTION that it is supposed make me feel. 🖤🖤
Perfect comment
Oh my God - I’m always in tears!
He had such a rich and beautiful voice. Can bring you to tears. So sad how he passed
2021. Donnie never goes out of play. He was one of the best unlisted romantics, poets, and writers of all time.
ALL that Mr Hathaway had on his ❤️ and the fight that was in his mind. He still shared the part of love for us he had. And still today we still are enjoying it. To the family. A few of us still cherish his voice and the strength that he is still giving us 2023 .
So many beautiful things said about Donny by people here.. There's not much i can add.. Truly God given talent way ahead of his time taken from us way to soon!!!
Iam sure he's in the front row singing praises to Our Lord in Heaven!!!
lovely...tearz
You can't learn how to sing this way! The quality the voice control the perfect and the right amount of vibrato can be enhanced by a vocal teacher however the sweetness the pure resonance and the quality and sweetness of that voice was made by The Master Potter Himself God Almighty! God given talent is what you hear! RIP Donny you were going through some bouts of depression and you took your life one night but I know that Tho some might disagree I believe your in the Hands of The Master Himself!
He had a pure singing voice, just an amazing talent.
Back when people could actually sing!! Beautiful song….and the ending is💕✨🔥
Of course not only am I listening but I am completely amazed each and every time I hear this. His voice has yet to be out sung. He is so pure and pitch perfect . Tone and vibrato are perfect ! Such a moving piece of art. Such a shame he left us so soon.
Don't You just Feel this song in the depths of Your SOUL? Wow, So Powerful!!
For all we know we may never meet again, but I'm glad that we found the brightest Love in Donny.
This song 💔. “For all we know, tomorrow may never come”. Oh Donny, you were one of the great ones 🙌🏽🎶❤️
Soon to be 2024! My prayer is that God has shown him how much he was and is still loved and he has peace knowing his gift lives on thru Lalah. ❤
Flawless voice. Just breathtaking......
Heart breaking in it's emotion .... Donny knows exactly what he is singing about ... and the listener knows too..... what a voice... such depth.
Donny Hathaway has the quintessential soulful voice. Emotion just bleeds through it.
I'll be listening for as long as I can find it!❤
Still listening September 2024🙏🏾💜
The beauty is in its simplicity. One of the greatest male vocalists of all time❤
Donny Hathaway was a God given gift to mankind on this planet. Never get tired of listening to his music what a tremendous loss may he RIP.
Angel - Unfortunately, God did not rescue him from his serious problems and give him more peace of mind.God allows a great deal of unspeakable acts to transpire on this planet of ours and should take some of the blame for not interceding! After all,terrible things are happening on his watch, and we should expect if not demand more help from Him. I love God but he is not perfect or above criticism.
MrGoldenthroat free will.. and trough Jesus is the rescue: Salvation..
@@arthurebrahimi8488 To quote the great Christopher Hitchens... "Of course I have free will..... I have no choice!"
His voice was pure and raw soul...so vulnerable, true soul. You feel every note, a masterpiece to say the least. What a gift from God to us all...Mr.Donny Hathaway.
He had such a good voice. A voice you don't hear much and when you hear it, well if you remember the 70's, you think oh, thats Donny Hathaway! Well at least I do! Its unforgetable.
I love this song, reminds me of my Dad
I’m listening what a beautiful voice
All star game 2020! Jennifer Hudson DID TAHT!!!! Beautiful. R.I.P Kobe. Rest easy king
Kixie she did a beautiful job so meaningful and touching tribute to Kobe and Gigi my they Rest In Peace
She really did
Beautiful song then & now
I still remember this song from childhood, when my Dad would play and sing this. Magic! I miss and love you so much. 💫🎵❤
Great tribute to Kobe Bryant by Jennifer Hudson. She sang this song so beautifully. It was so touching! We will miss Kobe and Gigi! Praying for the families who lost their loved ones. May God be with you all. R.I.P. to a a legend and his princess! 💜🧡
Still has me in tears when I watch Jennifer's tribute. She did this wonderful song justice. 💔
Donny Hathaway is an absolute master hands down he's taken a jazz song makes it in a contemporary classical music form and sing it like no one could ever do he's done the impossible.
