Today’s song of the day comes to us from George Harrison, who would have been 82 on this day.

All Things Must Pass is a song that Harrison originally wrote for the Beatles.  While the song didn’t make it into Abbey Road, it did later serve as the title track for Harrison’s first post-Beatles album.

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 gonna 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
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 at night time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
But 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

Lyrics by George Harrison
