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'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

(Instrumental interlude)

So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

Opening verse as recorded by BILLIE HOLIDAY 
with Ray Ellis & His Orch, Feb 19th 1958, New York:

Sweetheart, the night is growing old
Sweetheart, my love is still untold
A kiss that is never tasted
For ever and ever is wasted

Opening verse as recorded by DORIS DAY, May 1967, Hollywood:


Why should we waste a night like this
Why should we waste a single kiss
A kiss that is never tasted
Forever and ever is wasted
