All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

By John T. Marck

Although George suggested this song to The Beatles during the Get Back sessions in January 1969, and recorded it on February 25, 1969, it would not appear on any Beatles' album. It did finally surface after the Beatles broke up when George released his first post Beatles work, a triple-album issued at the end of 1970. It is also available on The Beatles Anthology 3 CD.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning,

a cloudburst doesn't last all day

Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning

But it's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass,

all things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening,

a mind can blow those clouds away

After all this my love is up and must be leaving

It has not always been this grey

All things must pass,

all things must pass away

All things must pass

none of life's strings can last

So I must be on my way and face another day

Now the darkness only stays at nighttime,

in the morning it will fade away

Daylight is good at arriving at the right time

It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass,

all things must pass away

All things must pass,

all things must pass away
