Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
I love her
She gives my everything
And tenderly
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, ooh
The Beatles classic "And I Love Her" is a beautiful love song that reveals the depth of the author's love and devotion towards his significant other. The song is bursting with emotion, tenderness, and vulnerability from the first line, "I give her all my love, that's all I do," to the final oohs, and ahhs. The songwriters Paul McCartney and John Lennon revealed that they wrote this song specifically for McCartney's girlfriend in 1964, Jane Asher. McCartney has stated that it was written at a time when "it was romance all the way."
The song's lyrics express an unwavering devotion to the subject of the song. It's all about the love this person has for their lover, who is described as bringing tenderness to their life. The lyrics imply that the person singing would do anything for their partner and that their love for them is all they need. The line "And if you saw my love, you'd love her too" implies that the singer is so taken with their partner that everyone would feel the same way if they knew them. The song ultimately suggests that love is the most significant thing in the world and that it will never die as long as they have each other.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was one of the few Beatles songs to feature McCartney's nylon-string acoustic guitar. It's said that George Martin, the Beatles' producer, insisted that McCartney play the guitar instead of his usual bass. Another interesting fact is that The Beatles dressed in their suits during the recording of the song to fit in with the traditional Spanish feel of the song. The song's original title was "And I Love Him," but McCartney changed it to her, as he felt it made more sense since he was the one singing it. The song was also covered by many artists over the years, including Smokey Robinson, Esther Phillips, and Elvis Presley.
