About The Song

“All My Loving” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney), and released on their second UK album With the Beatles (1963). It is a love song with a simple but catchy melody and lyrics that express a young man’s devotion to his girlfriend.

The song is notable for its use of a bridge section, which is a melodic and lyrical departure from the verses and chorus. This was a relatively new technique for pop music at the time, and it helped to make the song more distinctive and memorable.

“All My Loving” was not released as a single in either the UK or the US, but it was a popular song among fans and critics alike. It was the opening number on the Beatles’ debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964, and it has been covered by many other artists over the years.

Here are some of the lyrics to “All My Loving”:

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you I’ll say I’ll pretend and my dreams I’ll see All my loving, every single day

Oh, you know I love you, I’ll say it true Oh, you know I love you, I’ll say it true

Close your eyes, I’ll say I’ll pretend And in my dreams, I’ll hold you close and mend All my loving, every single day

Oh, you know I love you, I’ll say it true Oh, you know I love you, I’ll say it true
