I’ve been really enjoying the discovery of iTunes these days, slowly loading only my favorites from the myriad cds I have into my library. I was listening to one ELO song which I know is phrasing from a Beatles song. The ELO song is called “Mister Kingdom” and I’m pretty sure it was the phrase it was paying homage to was “Across the Universe.” Anyway, I went looking for lyrics to satisfy my curiosity (like I shouldn’t be doing better things with my time) and as I was looking through the lyrics of different Beatles songs I came upon an old favorite of mine. Favorite just because I always thought the lyrics were so wonderful and reading them reminded me of someone from awhile back...
I Will (Lennon/McCartney)
Who knows how long I’ve loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to—I will.
For if I ever saw you
I didn’t catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we’re together
Love you when we’re apart.
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will.
What can I say, I’m a big mush.
