Things We Said Today
Beatles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I have to go.
You'll be thinking of me,
Somehow I will know.
Wishing you weren't so far away,
Then I will remember
The things we said today.
Until the end of time.
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find.
Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will try to remember
The things we said today.
Me, I'm just the lucky kind.
Love to hear you say that love is luck.
And, though we may be blind,
Love is here to stay. And that's enough
To make you mine, girl,
Be the only one.
Love me all the time, girl.
We'll go on and on.
Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will try to remember
The things we said today.
Love me all the time, girl.
We'll go on and on.
Someday when we're dreaming,
Deep in love, not a lot to say.
Then we will try to remember
The things we said today.

These days such a kind girl
Finding someone kind like you is rare these days
Seems so hard to find
It's difficult to find someone like you
Someday when we're dreaming
One day in the future when we're both asleep and dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
When we're deeply in love, we won't need many words
Then we will try to remember
We'll try to recall
The things we said today
Our promises to each other
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
I'm fortunate to have you
Love to hear you say that love is luck
I enjoy hearing you say that finding love is lucky
And, though we may be blind
Even if we don't fully understand
Love is here to stay
Our love is permanent
And that's enough
That's all we need
To make you mine, girl
To have you as mine
Be the only one
To be my one and only
Love me all the time, girl
To love me always
We'll go on and on
Our love will last forever
Love me all the time, girl
To love me always
We'll go on and on
Our love will last forever

One day in the future when we're both asleep and dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
When we're deeply in love, we won't need many words
Then we will try to remember
We'll try to recall
The things we said today
Our promises to each other
