I'll Always Be With You
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
To get some bread and butter,
Dad called, he'd got your letter,
This is his new number.
Chicken's on the burner
But wait for me if you can,
I'll be back soon, honey,
Big kiss from mommy.
(chorus)
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
Please, I have a son!
(chorus)
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Sorry, I was so late,
Did you call your dad?
I hope he was nice to you,
I don't wanna see you sad.
I see you ate your chicken,
And saved me a plate,
I don't know how to tell you, I don't know how to tell,
But I love you, baby, rememember, I'll always be with you
I'll always be with you.
I love you, mommy, I love you with all my heart,
Please, always be with me.
(chorus)
Miss, miss, miss, miss,
Miss, miss, miss, miss.
Mommy! mommy!
Why do I love you so if you're just a spec of dust,
Floating endlessly amongst the trillion stars?
Knowing that one day we may float apart,
Meeting each other in universe.
I'll Always Be With You
Yoko Ono's 'I'll Always Be With You' stands as a poignant testament to her enduring partnership with John Lennon, capturing the emotional resonance of their relationship through minimalist composition. Recorded during the height of The Beatles' fame, the track reflects Ono's signature approach to songwriting, blending personal narrative with a universal appeal that transcends the specific era of the 1960s. As a solo artist, she frequently explored themes of love, loss, and spiritual connection, often drawing from her experiences as a widow and activist. This recording exemplifies her ability to distill complex emotions into accessible melodies that have resonated with audiences for decades, serving as a bridge between the collective memory of the band and her individual artistic voice. The song remains a cherished piece of her discography, illustrating her commitment to creating music that speaks directly to the human condition.
