"All Things Must Pass" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript, "All Things Pass" (1969)

A 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 been that grey .., and all
things must pass, all things must pass away

A sunset doesn't last all evening...,
A wind can blow those clouds away;
After all this, my love is up and
must be leaving..., but it's 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.

Darkness only stays a nightime..,
With the morning it will fade away...
The light of day is good at arriving at
the right time - no it's not always going
to be this grey; and all things must pass.



As Released by George Harrison (1970)

A 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
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass, all things must pass away

A sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
But it's not always going to be 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 a 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
