The Beatles - In My Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more.

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I love you more.

      Lennon began writing this in 1964. He forgot about the song for a while and he wrote it again one year later, with lyrics talking about people from his childhood and younger years. In John's original handwritten lyrics he made reference to several places in Liverpool:

      Penny Lane is one I'm missing

      Up Church Rd to the clocktower

      In the circle of the abbey

      I have seen some happy hours.

      

      Past the tramsheds with no trams

      On the 5 bus into town

      Past the Dutch and St. Columbus

      To the Dockers Umbrella that they pilled down.

      This song was the only one played at Kurt Cobain's funeral.
