  • Filmed around the time of making Songs In The Key Of Life, this rare footage of Stevie Wonder's much loved song "As" captures the spirit of love and what this song is all about. I re-synced the soundtrack as the original was skipping all over the place. Enjoy!

    Steve recorded this at the record plant on third street in West Hollywood. I worked next door at Chucks Steakhouse. Steve would come in for dinner, I had the privledge of cutting his steak for him while he created this beautiful album....one of the worlds best.

    This song reminds me of all the people that are gone and will never come back. Sometimes I cry while listening to this gem. Then my 10 months old niece starts laughing and I know that I’ve found a new meaning in this seemingly meaningless life. I know that I will always love them, both the ones who passed away and those who will learn what love is and will dedicate this same song to me. Thank you, Stevie.

    "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"

    I first heard this song as a young child and fell in love with the sound. I listened to it as a young man and hoped I’d someday find someone I loved as much as these beautiful lyrics profess, and I finally do. Now as an older guy I hear this song as a call to love for everyone, not just a romantic ballad. God bless Stevie for everything he’s taught me, and all of us over the years.

    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 that's born is new
    You know what I say is true
    That I'll be loving you always
    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
    No no 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
    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 turnin' right to left)
    Always
    (Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
    I'll be lovin' 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
    Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
    Always mm mm
    We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
    Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
    But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's 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 helpin' 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 grandchildren will tell
    I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

She graduated in 1979. Still trying to get her bearings on this entertainment thing while still studying under Stevie Wonder, James Mtume, Reggie Lucas, etc..,
