Brace yourselves, it's Lennon and McCartney time!
And I Love Her
I give her all my love,
That's all I do,
And if you saw my love,
You'd love her too.
I love her.
She gives me ev'rything,
And tenderly,
The kiss my lover brings,
She brings to me,
And I love her.
A love like ours,
Could never die,
As long as I,
Have you near me.
Bright are the stars that shine,
Dark is the sky,
I know this love of mine,
Will never die,
And I love her.
Bright are the stars that shine,
Dark is the sky,
I know this love of mine,
Will never die,
And I love her.
(And I Love Her is simple and sweet. Early McCartney development.)
I Will
Who knows how long I've loved you.
You know I love you still.
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to – I will.
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name.
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever.
Love you with all my heart.
Love you whenever we're together.
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear.
Make it easy to be near you.
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will.
I will.
(another sweet McCartney song. I always thought this one was highly underrated.)
Julia
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia.
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering,
Glimmering,
In the sun.
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Hum hum hum hum calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia.
(this is the sort of sweetness you'd expect from McCartney, except Lennon wrote it when he fell in love with Yoko)
I might post more later. I'm such a sap.
