In My Life
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
Information
This song originated as a poem by John which worked its way through
his entire childhood. It is clearly autobiographical but what is interesting
is that the original draft contained many more place names as the
"places I remember". Penny Lane was even there! However,
he changed it from a story of Liverpool to a more universally accepted
song about change. The dead friends that were referred to, included
Stuart Sutcliffe, a former Beatles that had died in 1962 of a brain
tumor.
