And if I say I really knew you well What would your answer be. If you were here today. Ooh- ooh- ooh- here to - day.
Well knowing you, You’d probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart. If you were here today. Ooh- ooh- ooh- here to - day.
But as for me, I still remember how it was before. And I am holding back the tears no more. Ooh- ooh- ooh- I love you, ooh-
What about the time we met, 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, 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.
If you were here today. Ooh- ooh- ooh- for you were in my song. Ooh- ooh- ooh- here to - day.
Paul McCartney wrote this song after his best friend John Lennon's death
