Here Today: For Michael

AND IF I SAID I REALLY KNEW YOU WELL
WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER BE?
IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY
HERE TODAY

WELL KNOWING YOU
YOU'D PROBABLY LAUGH AND SAY
THAT WE WERE WORLDS APART
IF YOU WERE HERE TODAY
HERE TODAY

BUT AS FOR ME
I STILL REMEMBER HOW IT WAS BEFORE
AND I AM HOLDING BACK THE TEARS NO MORE
I LOVE YOU

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
THEN YOU WERE HERE TODAY
FOR YOU WERE IN MY SONG

HERE TODAY

by Paul McCartney for John Lennon
