[Verse 1]
You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea
When we're together or when we're apart
There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts
'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree

[Chorus]
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you

[Verse 2]
You are my woman, I am your man
Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key
And every morning I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee

[Chorus]
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you

[Outro]
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea
'Cause I'm an apple and you're the tree
'Cause I'm a door and you're the key
'Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee

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.
