Here Today

For John Lennon,
but also for these, who have very much been here today.

And if I said
I really knew you well what would your answer be?
If you were here today.
Oohoohooh
Here today

Well knowing you,
You'd probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart.
If you were here today
Oohoohooh
here today

But as for me,
I still remember how it was before.
And I am holding back the tears no more.
Oohoohooh
I love you

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.

and you were here today.
Oohoohooh
for you were in my song.
Oohoohooh
here today.
