From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"For You, For Me, For Evermore" is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.

Written around 1936-7, it was rediscovered by Ira Gershwin when he was preparing music for The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1946), where it was introduced by Dick Haymes and Betty Grable.
