    In My Life written by Paul McCartney & John Lennon, performed by Judy Collins
    "But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you.
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new.
    Tho' I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before,
    I know I'll often stop and think about them,
    In my life I love you more."
