JULIA
(Lennon/McCartney)
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering
In the sun
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum hum… calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia
Best Lennon-direct,personal,natural like an impressionist painting but with more gravity
As a song, I always liked Hold On as my favorite Lennon song. Very simple, almost like one of Woody Guthrie’s children’s songs, but heartfelt, soulful, and very beautiful. Love those chord changes. Cookie!
Cookie is his coolest line ever
