And I Love Her Lyrics

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
I love her

She gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I Love Her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her, ooh

And I Love Her Song Chart

Paul McCartney wrote most of this song, and in a 1984 interview with Playboy magazine, he stated, "It's just a love song; no, it wasn't for anyone." That was probably the chivalrous thing to do, as by then he was 15 years into his marriage to Linda. When he wrote the song, he was dating an actress named Jane Asher. For a while, they were the most popular couple in England. After they broke up in 1968, McCartney married Linda Eastman and Asher became a proficient author. She runs her own business called "Jane Asher Party Cakes."
McCartney did write "We Can Work It Out" and "Here, There And Everywhere" about Asher. See a photo and learn more about Paul and Jane Asher in Song Images.

This was one of the first pop songs with a title that starts in mid-sentence. Paul was inspired by songs such as Perry Como's "And I Love Her So."

Most of the songs on the album A Hard Days Night are Lennon compositions. Lennon helped out with the middle part of this song, but it's mostly the work of McCartney. Structurally, the song is fairly conventional, with a clear melody in A+A+B+A system similar to popular music from the '30s that Irving Berlin wrote. (thanks to Johan Cavalli, who is a music historian in Stockholm)

Paul McCartney was the only Beatle to sing on this. Like "Yesterday," it is one of just of few Beatle songs with only one vocalist.

This is the second most covered Beatles song with 372 versions recorded by 1972. Their most-covered track is "Yesterday."

Paul always intended this to be a ballad. He felt that all of their albums, regardless of how "rocky" they were, should have at least one ballad "to enrich the show." It's the reason he added "Till There Was You" to With The Beatles. The Beatles Anthology 1 album has a much faster version that includes both drums and George's 12-string electric guitar, but that wasn't the original intent.

The Beatles recorded this song at the end of February 1964, in the week after returning from the United States and before the start of filming their movie A Hard Day's Night, where they perform the song. The take you hear on record is Take 21.

Ringo played the bongos on this track, and George Harrison played the acoustic guitar solo.

The guitar duo Santo & Johnny recorded a mellow surf instrumental version of this song in 1965 which was a huge hit in Mexico. Santo & Johnny are known for their #1 hit "Sleep Walk."

Despite the fact that he wrote 35% of this song (the middle eight), John Lennon called this "Paul's first 'Yesterday.'"

This was the first Beatles recording using purely acoustic instruments.

Paul once stated "This was the first song that I impressed myself with."

When Paul McCartney was asked during a 2014 Twitter Q&A what he considers to be his favorite cover of one of his tracks, the former Beatle replied: "There are so many that I love it's difficult to say, but Esther Phillips' version of 'And I love HIM' comes to mind."
