Here, There and Everywhere Lyrics
To lead a better life
I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there
[Chorus: x2]
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there
And everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
I need my love to be here
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
And everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

John Lennon: 'Here, There and Everywhere' is Paul's song completely, I believe- and one of my favourite songs of The Beatles. (1980)
Paul McCartney: One of my special memories is when we were in Obertauern, Austria, filming for Help!. John and I shared a room and we were taking off our heavy ski boots after a day's filming, ready to have a shower and get ready for the nice bit, the evening meal and drinks. We were playing a cassette of our new recordings and my song 'Here, There and Everywhere" was on. And I remember Jogn saying, "You know, I probably like that better than any of my songs on the tape".Coming from John, that was high praise indeed.
Beatles Anthology, p. 209 (I think. hehe.)
I still get chills everytime I listen to this song. Not very complex, banal and overused, but it's so beautiful. Never loses its charm.
Paul wrote this tune while sitting by John's pool in Weybridge. It's been suggested (too often) that Paul was inspired by Brian Wilson's 'Pet Sounds'. Well, sorry folks but this song was recorded in June 1966 and 'Pet Sounds' wasn't released in Britain until July 1966. Even if Paul had an advance copy, there isn't any musical link between this song and anything from 'Pet Sounds'.
Yes, Ian McDonald says so in his book about The Beatles ;)

@BeatleAnt On Monday, 16 May 1966, the day of Pet Sounds’ US release, Bruce Johnston arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport carrying a copy of the album. The following day, in his suite at the Waldorf Hotel, Bruce played the album in its entirety for John Lennon and Paul McCartney – not once, but twice. After the two Beatles left the Waldorf they went straight back to Paul’s house and there, inspired by Brian’s incredible music, they worked on the introduction to their song ‘Here, There And Everywhere’, which later appeared on Revolver.

it's a beautiful song that paul wrote for jane asher because she was always with him when they were together. john said this is his favorite paul song
Do you realize you said, "she was always with him when they were together"? Think about it! I agree thought it is a good song. Linda Aasher was his girlfriend for a while.............when they were together ;)
Taurendil meant when they were married.

Definitely my favourite love song by the Beatles, and probably my favourite all time love song. It's just gorgeous, and it's the kind of love everyone should experience. I love how the lyrics blend into each other like it's just a stream of his feelings, and he doesn't notice anyone else but her. That's so beautiful. Anyone who thinks Paul only writes sacchrine songs should listen to this and hear the REAL sentiments! Jane Asher's one lucky girl to have this song written about her...
it has been said that paul was inspired by God Only Knows off the beach boys Pet Sounds album. Paul, apparently, loved the way Brian Wilson wrote about the idea of being unable to live without someone and wrote this as his response
my favourite album of the beatles, by far, and this song is one of the reasons why. it is gorgeous in every aspect and i can only hope to find a girl that i will feel this way about someday. this will be my wedding song.
If only we could all experience this in our lives... How do you all feel about this song as a "first dance" song at your wedding?
This song is one of my favourites from the Beatles and the line 'Each one believing that love never dies' is just beautiful.
