For All Time - Lyrics

Sun comes up on this new morning
Shifting shadows, a songbird sings
And if these words could keep you happy
I'd do anything

And if you feel alone, I'll be your shoulder
With a tender touch, you know so well
Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters
Baby, who can really tell,
When two hearts belong so well

And maybe the walls will tumble
And sun may refuse to shine
But when I say, I love you
Baby, you gotta know
That's for all time
Baby you gotta know
That's for all time

Moon shines down on this good evening
One warm kiss in the cold night air
For this good love I'm receiving
I'll go anywhere
Just as long as you are there

And maybe the walls will tumble
And sun may refuse to shine
When I say I love you
Baby, you gotta know
That's for all time
Baby you gotta know
That's for all time

Bridge:
Oh, then on these quiet days
Where souls embrace
So silently
Oh, the rain may wash away
All these words that young lovers say

And Maybe the walls will crumble
And sun may refuse to shine
But when I say, I need you
Baby, you gotta know
That's for all time
Baby you gotta know
That's for all time
Say that you'll never go
That's for all time
Baby, you gotta know
That's for all time
Baby you gotta know
That's for all time
Baby you gotta know
That's for all time
Don't ever don't lie
That's for all time
We can make loving
That's for all time
Say that you'll never go
That's for all time
Baby, you'll never go
That's for all time...

The man is a genius. How did he know that just those lyrics, sung just that way, set to just that music could make the heart flutter and the soul smile? How did he know that that song would mean so very much so very many people? Michael's voice is pure, true love.

Well...This song is really great...

The melody is amazing.MJ's voice is pure and gentle as always.This track is a real diamond,as my butterfly said.Yes,I totally agree with you,PYT

.And it should have been released a bit earlier but it's ok that it is released nowadays.I was so happy when it was released and included in the 25th Thriller Anniversary album...I remember when I rushed to the music shop to buy it but I still didn't find it there.I was very sad.But I believed that I would get that gorgeous album.Finally,I got it in summer,after I finished my school and when I got my diploma.The 25th Thriller album was a huge gift from my parents.

.I will never forget it. When I got it,I couldn't stop listening to that amazing album.My mom liked it too

.But she liked ''For All Time'' song the most.I liked it very much too.I have no words to explain...

Every time I hear this song ,I feel like this

Liberian Girl was written many years before Bad Same here, if this song was supposed to appear on Dangerous it doesn't mean it was written at that time. Besides, who knows how many versions of it he recorded

Guest

Good ear. This song was written and recorded for Dangerous, and has nothing to do with Thriller. It was written about 10 years later.

Did some of you guys notice that the Thriller 25 version of For All Time has the voice of the nowadays Michael Jackson. You can hear it if you compare the Dangerous outtake with this version and the leaked version of the original Thriller. So awsome he re-recorded this song with will.i.am, also the version of the dangerous album contains an alternative guitar part. But I love this version better.

I don't believe this song was recorded during the Thriller era. My reasons for this because the style he is singing is totally different from other songs. Also, his voice is higher. Listen carefully to this song and songs from Thriller and compare. I think this song was recorded between the Bad and Dangerous Eras.
