And if I say I really knew you well,
What would your answer be?
If you were here today.
Uh, uh, uh, here today.
Well, knowing you,
You'd probably laugh and say
That we were worlds apart.
If you were here today.
Uh, uh, uh, here today.
But as for me,
I still remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more.
Uh, uh, uh,
I love you, uh. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/paul_mccartney/here_today.html ]
What about the time we met? (what about the time?)
Well, I suppose that you could say
That we were playing hard to get.
Didn't understand a thing,
But we could always sing.
What about the night we cried? (what about the night)
Because there wasn't any reason
Left to keep it all inside.
Never understood a word,
But you were always there with a smile.
And if I say I really loved you
And was glad you came along.
Then you were here today,
Uh, uh, uh, for you were in my song.
This is one of paul mccartneys greatest songs he ever wrote and it was about his greatest friend ever and every time i listen to it i can tell that he is so sad that he is gone beacause he cared so much about him you know that they respected each other.
This song was written by paul mccartney for his friend and fellow songwriter and bandmate, john lennon who was shot by a deranged fan in 1980. It describes their relationship which was a bit troubled sometimes though overall they really did respect and care for each other.
