[Verse 1]
The years have passed so quickly
One thing I've understood
I am only learning
To tell the trees from wood

[Chorus 1]
I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from
And I know and I'm sorry, yes I am
But I never could speak my mind

[Verse 2]
And I know just how you feel
And I know now what I have done
And I know, and I'm guilty, yes I am
But I never could read your mind

[Verse 3]
I know what I was missing
But now my eyes can see
I put myself in your place
As you did for me

[Bridge]
Today, I love you more than yesterday
Right now, I love you more right now

[Chorus 2]
I know what's coming down
I can feel where it's coming from
And I know it's getting better all the time
As we share in each other's mind

[Bridge]
Today I love you more than yesterday
Right now I love you more right now

[Outro]
Ooh hoo, no more crying
Ooh hoo, no more crying
Ooh hoo, no more crying
Ooh hoo, no more crying

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
