And if I say I really knew you well
What would your answer be?
If you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, here today
————
Well, knowing you
You'd probably laugh and say
That we were worlds apart
If you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, here today
————
But as for me, I still
Remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more
Ooh ooh ooh, I love you, ooh
————
What about the time we met?
Well, I suppose that you could say
That we were playing hard to get
Didn't understand a thing
But we could always sing
————
What about the night we cried?
Because there wasn't any reason
Left to keep it all inside
Never understood a word
But you were always there with a smile
————
And if I say I really loved you
And was glad you came along
When you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, for you were in my song
Ooh ooh ooh, here today

麦卡特尼曾对卫报说过：“至少是有那幺一次巡演的时候，这首歌触动了我。我正唱这歌时认为自己没事，而很快我就发现这歌是很感人的，还有约翰是一个非常好的哥们并且他在我生命中是一个相当重要的人，我怀念他，你知道吗？”
