All Things in Time is an album by American R&B singer Lou Rawls, released in June 1976 on the Philadelphia International Records label. Coming after a career lull in the years immediately preceding, All Things in Time was Rawls' first album for PIR; at the time he was the first artist to sign with PIR after having already enjoyed a substantial recording career and chart success with other record labels. The album includes Rawls' most famous hit song "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine".

Louis Allen Rawls (December 1, 1933 – January 6, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, actor, voice actor, and record producer. Rawls released more than 60 albums, sold more than 40 million records, and had numerous charting singles, most notably his song "You'll Never Find Another Love like Mine". He worked as a film, television, and voice actor. He was also a three-time Grammy-winner, all for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

On the night of September 29, 1977, Rawls performed the national anthem of the United States before the Earnie Shavers-Muhammad Ali title fight at Madison Square Garden. He was invited to sing the anthem many times over the next 28 years. His final performance was in his hometown of Chicago when he was asked to sing the national anthem before the second game of the 2005 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros at U.S. Cellular Field.

In 1982, Rawls received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On January 19, 1985, he sang "Wind Beneath My Wings" at the nationally televised 50th Presidential Inaugural Gala the day before the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

This song will last forever

After we're dead and gone

You know the melody will linger on and on and on

Talking about this song

Is gonna last forever

Generations come

Generations go

But they dance to the same music

And fall in love as they go

Songs like tangerine

I'm in the mood for love

I wonder how many people have danced across the floor

I wonder how many violins have played

The melody to my way

While lover sits

Lover sit back and alight

And how many songs about June

While people swoon by the light of the silvery moon

I said this song is gonna last forever

After we're dead and gone

Let me tell you that the melody will longer on and on and on

I'm talking about this song

It's gonna last forever

You know there's a song for every thought

And every special occasion

There's a song for resistance and

There's a song for persuasion

There's a song for pain and pleasure

Stormy and sunshiny weather

This song gonna last forever after we're dead and gone

You know the melody will linger on and on and on

I'm talking about this song, is gonna last forever

This song, is gonna last forever

After we're dead and gone

You know the melody, the melody will linger on and on and on

I'm talking about this song, is gonna last forever

Well, well, well...

This song is gonna last a long long time

Gonna be around forever
