Here, There And Everywhere

To lead a better life
I need my love to be here.

Here, making each day of the year,
Changing my life with a wave of her hand.
Nobody can deny that there's something there.

There, running my hands through her hair,
Both of us thinking how good it can be.
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there.

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care.
But to love her is to need her everywhere.

Knowing that love is to share;
Each one believing that love never dies,
Watching her and hoping I'm always there.

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care.
But to love her is to need her everywhere.

Knowing that love is to share;
Each one believing that love never dies,
Watching her and hoping I'm always there.

I will be there
And everywhere,
Here, there and everywhere.

"Here, There and Everywhere" is a song written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney), recorded for the Beatles' 1966 album Revolver. In his biography Many Years From Now, McCartney said the song is one of his favourites. Beatles' producer George Martin has also mentioned it as one of his favourite McCartney songs. John Lennon reportedly told McCartney it was "The best tune on the album" and said in his 1980 Playboy interview it was "one of my favourite songs of the Beatles." It was ranked the 4th greatest song of all time by Mojo in 2000.

McCartney wrote the song at Lennon's house in Weybridge while waiting for Lennon to wake up. "I sat out by the pool on one of the sun chairs with my guitar and started strumming in E," McCartney recalled. "And soon [I] had a few chords, and I think by the time he'd woken up, I had pretty much written the song, so we took it indoors and finished it up."
