      Well this original version was definitely made with lots and lots of passion,BUT since i was grown up and thus being more familiar with the george michael version that version just more,BUT i do remember that once i heard the george michael version, i knew that it was an old song and it just did reminded me of a typical stevie wonder song without ever heard his version before,well 23 years later my suspicious feeling did became true,so let’s consider this,without the stevie wonder version,there would,ve been absolutely no george michael version,so in that case it would say thank you stevie wonder for paving the way for george michael’s version👍

    I recall hearing this song at family house parties, just in passing as a kid back in the 70s, really never paying attention to the lyrics. I was going through a very deep depression in the mid 90s, was thinking about taking my life at the time. One night I was having very dark thoughts, going through emotions. I decided to turn on the radio, this song was on, the mid instrumental part was playing. I had never really listen to the long version of this masterpiece up until that night. But starting @3:48, when he got to this verse, it literally stop me in my tracks! It was just so very deep! Thank you Mr. Stevie Wonder for literally saving my life.

    [Verse 1]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 the cure
    You can rest your mind assure
    That I'll be loving 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
    Do know what I say is true
    That I'll be loving you always
    [Refrain]Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
    [Verse 2]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
    To last through forever and another day?
    Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
    And the seasons know exactly when to change
    Just as kindness knows no shame
    Know through all your joy and pain
    That I'll be loving you always
    As today, I know I'm living, but tomorrow
    Could make me the past, but that, I mustn't fear
    For I'll know deep in my mind
    The love of me I've left behind
    'Cause I'll be loving you always
    [Refrain]Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Always)
    Until the day that is the day that are no more (Did you know you're loved by somebody?)
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Always)
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (I'll be loving you forever)
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Always)
    Until the day that you are me and I am you (Always)
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
    [Bridge]We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
    Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
    But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
    That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
    So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
    You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
    Change your words into truth and then change that truth into love
    And maybe our children's grandchildren
    And their great-grandchildren will tell
    I'll be loving you
    [Refrain]Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Loving you)
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Loving you)
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Be loving you)
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Loving you)
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Loving you)
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Loving you)
    Until the day that is the day that are no more (Loving you)
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left (Be loving you)
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Loving you)
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through (Loving you)
    Until the day that you are me and I am you (Now ain't that loving you?)
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Ain't that loving you?)
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high (And I've got to say always)
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream (Always)
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (Always)
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
    Until the day that is the day that are no more (Always)
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself (Always)
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
    Until the day that you are me and I am you
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Until the dolphin flies 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 day that is the day that are no more

I sang it to her while I carried her, saw visions of myself singing it to her as she grows and now that she’s gone it’s the only thing that gives me some comfort. I’m so sorry you’re gone but I’m gonna love you always.

    The greatest artist of all-time. There has never been someone in history who can match Stevie's combination of production skill, musical genius, piano skills, voice, lyricism and composition. The way he composed his music is unmatched. Every instrument, every vocal and every note is equal yet he put it all together so well that it's smooth and flows together. It doesn't feel cluttered, it doesn't feel overdone. It's pure art and it's pure Stevie. Additionally, there's just an energy of happiness and a feeling of warmth that radiates from Stevie and it shows in his music. When you listen to him you can't help but smile and feel the energy rushing through you.

      I agree with you 100 percent, and there was another creative Masterpiece that Stevie Wonder did called, 'Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants'. Stevie was showing a side of himself that many did not know existed in the latter album, and I think many did not receive it quite well, but it is Album everyone needs to listen to. It is like a symphony and has some of the most wonderful songs on it. What what the music world be without this musical Genius called Stevie Wonder. They way the world is in this day and time, his music has kept my spirits high. So thank you Stevie Wonder for all your contributions to music!!!!

    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 the cure
    You can rest your mind assured
    That I'll be loving you always
    As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
    But in passing will grow older every day
    Just as all that's born is new
    Do know what I say is true
    That I'll be loving you always
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Always
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Always
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
    Always
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
    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?
    To last through forever and another day
    Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
    And the seasons know exactly when to change
    Just as kindness knows no shame
    Know through all your joy and pain
    That I'll be loving you always
    As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
    Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
    For I'll know deep in my mind
    The love of me I've left behind
    'Cause I'll be loving you always
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day
    Always
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
    Always
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
    Always
    Until the day that is the day that are no more
    Did you know you're loved by somebody?
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
    Always
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
    I'll be loving you forever
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
    Always
    Until the day that you are me and I am you
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Always
    We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
    Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
    But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
    That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
    So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
    You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
    Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
    And maybe our children's grandchildren
    And their great-great-grandchildren will tell
    I'll be loving you
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Loving you
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Loving you
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
    Loving you
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
    Be loving you
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day
    Loving you
    Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away
    Loving you
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
    Loving you
    Until the day that is the day that are no more
    Loving you
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
    Be loving you
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
    Loving you
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
    Loving you
    Until the day that you are me and I am you
    Now ain't that loving you
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Ain't that loving you
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    And I've got to say always
    Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
    Always
    Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
    Always
    Until the day is night and night becomes the day
    Always
    Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
    Always
    Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
    Until the day that is the day that are no more
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
    Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
    Until the day that you are me and I am you
    Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
    Until the ocean covers every mountain high
    Until the dolphin flies 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 is the day that are no more
    Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
    Until the earth just for the sun denies itself

The song never lessened the pain, but it did bring me some comfort. Meanwhile, my parents where in a car accident...my mother was killed and daddy is now paralised. Now, 15 years later, I survived and my father is still paralised, but we've created a new dance with these song, called ' head and ears'. Sometimes I also put some sunglasses on my dad so he looks like stevie wonder... He really enjoys it !!!
