Here, There And Everywhere is one of Paul McCartney's own favorites from the Beatles period. He wrote it while sitting by John's outdoor pool, waiting for his friend to get out of bed.

Some have speculated if the song is an attempt to capture the same mood as Brian Wilson's God Only Knows from the Beach Boys' 1966-album Pet Sounds. Both Lennon and McCartney admired this record, and McCartney was particularly found of the song God Only Knows.

Alternative versions of Here, There and Everywhere can be heard on Anthology 2, Unplugged from 1991 and Paul Is Live from 1993, the latter from Sydney.

Here There and Everywhere

To lead a better life, I need my love to be here

Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone in speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there

I want her everywhere
and if she’s beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that my love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there
To be there and everywhere

Here, there and everywhere
