The Beatles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it′s true
It's all because of you
And if I make it through
It′s all because of you
And now and then
Well, we will know for sure
That I will love you
Now and then
I miss you
Oh, now and then
I want you to be there for me
Always to return to me
I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if you go away
I know you′ll never stay
Now and then
I miss you
Oh, now and then
I want you to be there for me
I know it′s true
It's all because of you
And if I make it through
It′s all because of you
Good one

You are wrong when for you truth is hate, because you hate truth.

I was 14 years old when the Beatles made it big. Today, I’m 73.
Their songs were the soundtrack of my high school and college years. Their impact, their contributions, their influence on music, on our culture for decades, are simply peerless.
Thanks to 21st century technology we can see them together again…
What a tribute!

I'm.75 and feel the same. I sawcthem in concert twice. They do feel like a big part of my life in some ways. Watching the Peter Jackson film reminded me of many memories in those years.
