Every man has a woman who loves him
Rain or shine or life or death
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying?

Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life and in death
If she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she looks into his eyes

Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I run when I feel like holding you?

Every man has a woman who loves him
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know

John Lennon

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.
