"In My Life" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Original Manuscript (1965)

There are places I'll remember
All my life, tho' some have changed
Some for better
Some forever but not for better
Some have gone and some remain

Penny Lane is one I'm missing
Up Church Rd to the clock tower
In the circle of the Abbey
I have seen some happy hours

And the 5 bus into town
Past the tramsheds with no trams
Past the Dutch + St Columbus
To the

Past the tramsheds with no trams
On the 5 bus into town
Past the Dutch and St Columbus
To the dockers umbrella that they pulled down

In the [ ] some good times
[ ] was good for summer
But if you want to really find in
Really want to find me

All these places have connections their memories
Some with loves forgotten new
Some with [ ]
Some are dead + some are living

Second Manuscript (1965)

There are place [sic] I remember
All my life tho' some have changed
Some forever but not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All the places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead + some are living
In my life I've loved them all

As Released by the Beatles (1965)

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had 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.

In my life I love you more.
