All Things Must Pass

In Nov 1968 after completing the White Album, George went to Woodstock to stay with Bob Dylan, spending time with The Band. He played this song during the Beatles recording in Jan 1969 and then recorded it alone in Feb to attempt to capture the feeling that The Band had in their single The Weight. However this song was not included in Let it Be or Abbey Road albums. Instead it became the title track of George's debut solo album in Dec 1970, reaching no 4 in British and topping the US chart.

LyricsSunrise 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.

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'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,
face another day.

Darkness only stays at nighttime,
in the morning it will fade away.
Daylight has a habit of 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.
