(One, two, three)
I know it’s true
It’s all because of you
And, if I make it through
It’s all because of you
And, now and then
If we must start again
Well, we will know for sure
That I will love you
Now and then
I miss you
Oh, now and then
I want you to be there for me
Always to return to me
I know it’s true
It’s all because of you
And, if you go away
I know you’ll never stay
Now and then
I miss you
Oh, now and then
I want you to be there for me
(Ahh)
(Ahh)
(Ahh)
(Ooh)
(Ahh)
I know it’s true
It’s all because of you
And, if I make it through
It’s all because of you
(Good one)
Reflecting on Love and Longing
“Now And Then” by The Beatles offers a poignant meditation on enduring love and the bittersweet ache of absence. Throughout the song, the lyrics reveal a narrator grappling with memories and the persistent hope for reconnection. Phrases like “I know it’s true, it’s all because of you” highlight deep gratitude and emotional dependence, while the recurring line “now and then, I miss you” captures the persistent nature of longing. The gentle repetition and tender tone invite listeners to relate to experiences of love that linger long after separation, making the song universally resonant and emotionally powerful.
