[Verse 1]
All through my life I've been hearing
All about those good old days
It makes no difference
What was or what may be

[Chorus]
The past it is gone
The future may not be at all
The present improve the flying hour

[Verse 2]
Some people look into the future
They're hoping that they'll see better days
It's such a sweet thought
It's something that could be but

[Chorus]
The past it is gone
The future may not be at all
The present improve the flying hour

[Bridge]
What was and what may be
Is not here, it is not clear to me
Right now is the one thing
That I can feel, the one thing real to me
Uh-uh - uh-uh

[Verse 3]
So as you sit back to remember
That which you cannot recall
It makes no difference
What was or what may be

[Chorus]
The past it is gone
The future may not be at all
The present improve the flying hour

[Synthesizer solo]

[Verse 4]
It makes no difference
What was or what may be

[Chorus]
The past it is gone
The future may not be at all
The present improve the flying hour

The past it is gone
The future may not be at all
The present improve the flying hour

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.”
