Here, There And Everywhere Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


To lead a better life I need my home to be here...

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the 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 speking 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

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

To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

This was inspired by The Beach Boys' song "God Only Knows."
Paul McCartney wrote this while he was lounging at John Lennon's pool.
This was one of Lennon and McCartney's favorites. They both felt it was one of the most underrated Beatles songs.
McCartney played this in the opening sequence of his 1984 movie Give My Regards to Broad Street. After this scene, the movie goes pretty much downhill, following McCartney as he tries to recover missing master tapes.
McCartney was trying to sing this like Marianne Faithful, a popular singer in the '60s who was Mick Jagger's girlfriend.
Paul wrote this about the additional press coverage he was getting since he started going out with actress Jane Asher. At the time, McCartney may have been the most eligible bachelor on the planet, and it was a big deal when he began dating Asher, who acted in various stage productions and appeared in the movie Alfie. They broke up in 1968.
Emmylou Harris covered this in 1976.
McCartney played this on his 2002 Back In The US tour. For those shows, he added an accordion to the arrangement.
This was covered in the early 1990s by a self taught guitar prodigy from Pittsburgh, PA named George Benson. The Benson album was in fact titled Here, There, and Everywhere - and makes this song the album's center piece. Benson's arrangement features orchestral strings and a solo piano intro.
