Here Today

Paul McCartney · Tug of War [1982]

And if I say I really knew you well

What would your answer be

If you were here today?

Ooh, here today



Well knowing you, you'd probably laugh and say

That we were worlds apart

If you were here today

Ooh, here today



But as for me

I still remember how it was before

And I am holding back the tears no more

Oh, no no

I love you, ooh



What about the time we met?

Well, I suppose that you could say that

We were playing hard to get

We didn't understand a thing

But we could always sing



What about the night we cried?

Because there wasn't any reason left

To keep it all inside

I never understood a word

But you were always there with a smile



And if I say I really loved you

And was glad you came along

And you were here today

Ooh, for you were in my song

Ooh, here today
