As we all know, John was shot to death in December 1980.
Am I the only one who still remembers that night? I fell asleep early (watching the Dolphins-Patriots game) and did not hear the news until morning. It was a shock!
Some of you may remember the ABC Monday Night Football game & Howard Cossell telling the world that Lennon was shot and pronounced dead:
Over the years, I've continued to love The Beatles. I am one of those who thinks that Lennon-McCartney songs are wonderful. I still think that John & Paul did their best work together.
Click to hear "It's only love" from the UK "Help" album & US "Rubber Soul" album.
It is not "Norwegian Wood" or "Strawberry Fields Forever". You don't hear it much anymore but it is one of my favorites:
"I get high when I see you go by
My oh my.
When you sigh, my, my insides just fly,
Butterfly.
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.
Is it right that you and I should fight
Every night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
t's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you."
My oh my.
When you sigh, my, my insides just fly,
Butterfly.
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.
Is it right that you and I should fight
Every night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
t's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you."
