“And I Love Her”
The Beatle’s Paul McCartney wrote “And I Love Her” when he was but twenty-two. The song is a classic of the young-love genre. There’s nothing sophisticated about the lyric, because it’s all about that beautiful, first blush of love:
“I give her all my love, that’s all I do,
And if you saw my love, you’d love her, too.
I love her.”
Writing credits attribute the song to both Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Lennon claims he wrote the middle section:
“A love like ours, could never die,
As long as I have you near me.”
But McCartney says Lennon only helped out on that section. He talks about what happened the day they recorded the song:
“And I Love Her” has been recorded by a diverse group of singers over the decades, including Harry Connick Jr. who gives it a jazzy flair..
