"All" was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 performed in English by Hull born actress and occasional singer Patricia Bredin. It was a ballad and at a length of 1:52 minutes, it was the shortest entry in the history of the contest until Finland in 2015 as well as being the first song to be performed in English.

The song was performed third on the night (following Luxembourg's "Amours mortes (tant de peine)" and preceding Italy's "Corde della mia chitarra" - the longest entry in the history of the contest at 5:09 minutes). The song was placed 7th out of 10 songs, and received a total of 6 points.

The only known studio recording of the song was released the same year by English singer Robert Earl. This version was later included on the compilation album "If You Can Dream" by Vocalion Records together with all other tracks from his first 17 singles.

Lyrics

All the golden dreams of yesterday

All the fragrance of a bygone May

All the words two hearts in love can say

All you'll ever mean to me, my darling

All we've shared throughout the passing years

All the laughter, all the sighs, the tears

All the joy of living, loving and forgiving

These are all to me

All the laughter, all the sighs, the tears

All the joy of living, loving and forgiving

These are all to me
