[Verse 1]
In another life
I woke up dreaming with a sigh
As the morning light
Was painting whispers of a joy

[Bridge 1]
And I was in the candlelit bedroom
Enchanting beauty shimmering magically
Like an iridescent cloud
Being blown by a westerly wind, ooh

[Verse 2]
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take the breath away from heaven, ooh

[Bridge 2]
And I was captured by her loneliness
A wounded tiger on a willowy path
Like an opalescent moon all alone
In the sky of the foreign land

[Outro]
She can take the breath away from heaven
She can move your soul without you knowing
She can take the breath away from heaven
She is like an everlasting blossom
She can take the breath away from heaven

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
