"And I Love Her" was written in the basement music room at Jane Asher's parents home at 57 Wimpole St. in London.  Paul had just moved in with the Asher's and frequently met with John there to write songs, although this song was apparently written by McCartney alone, at least initially.  "I wrote this on my own," McCartney stated, "I can actually see Margaret Asher's upstairs drawing room.  I remember playing it there."

The song was written in February of 1964 during either their two days at home between their Paris and America trips (February 5th through 7th) or after their return trip home after conquering the US (February 22nd through 25th).  These were the only dates that Paul could have been at the Asher's home in London in February.

"It was the first ballad I impressed myself with," Paul explained in his book 'Many Years From Now.'  "It's got nice chords in it, 'Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky...'  I like the imagery of the stars and the sky.  It was a love song really.  The 'And' in the title was an important thing, 'And I Love Her', it came right out of left field, you were right up to speed the minute you heard it.  The title comes in the second verse and it doesn't repeat.  You would often go to town on the title, but this was almost an aside, 'Oh...and I love you.'  It still holds up and George played really good guitar on it.  It worked very well."

Lennon equally admired the song, stating in 1980 "I consider it (Paul's) first 'Yesterday.'  You know, the big ballad in 'A Hard Day's Night.'"  One thing about John's explanatory interviews is that his memory seems to slip according to the year he was interviewed.  At one point he even claimed to have completely written Paul's "Two Of Us."  In the case of "And I Love Her" he stated in 1972, "Both of us wrote it.  The first half was Paul's and the middle-eight (or bridge) is mine."  In 1980, he changed his story slightly, saying "The middle eight, I helped with that."

Paul purges his memory to clarify the matter.  "I'm not sure if John worked on that at all...The middle eight is mine.  I would say that John probably helped with the middle-eight, but he can't say 'It's mine.'  I wrote this on my own."]]> 2016-06-23 23:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lulidisney/jxact1sz36r0/wish/115356988 lulidisney https://padlet.com/lulidisney/jxact1sz36r0/wish/115356989 And I Love Her"

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

She gives me 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

Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Dark is the sky

Will never die
