Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more

A number of years ago, George Michael and Mary J. Blige did a remake of the Stevie Wonder song "As". It's still on my all time list. It's a rockin' blues/jazz fusion update of a great song.

You can see the video here on YouTube. It's incredibly hard to find in audio though. It was only released (from my understanding) on George Michael's european release of "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Best of George Michael"


The lyrics say it all. It's hard not to be reminded of things when it's written so eloquently and with such depth of feeling.


"As"
(George Michael feat. Mary J. Blige)

[GM]
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's a cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I'll be lovin' you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be lovin' you always

[All]
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more

[MJB]
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
That last through forever
Another day

[GM] As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Couldn't make me be the past but that I mustn't fear
[MJB] Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
[GM] And I'll be loving you always

[1 - All]
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more

[GM] Did you know that true love asks for nothing
[MJB] (True love don't wanna pay)
[GM] Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever
[MJB] Another day

[GM] As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
[MJB] Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I left behind
[GM] That I'll be lovin' you always

[Repeat 1]

Always
Always
