Your Mother Should Know

I love this song. It's one of the top ten most beautiful songs I know. Most people probably won't even remember it, but some of my earliest memories are attached to this song. I remember the day my dad brought the LP home for my mom, who is a huge Beatles fan. I remember her sitting in the living room playing the whole album over and over, and I got to stay in the room with her if I could be quiet (which I could be).

This was my favorite song on the album from the start.

It always lifts my mood when I listen to it.

I used to just love this song with my whole heart, but the older I get, the more wistful it makes me. It's not because I have kids of my own.

It's because at some point I realized that one day, it will simply hurt too much to listen to this song any more.

Someday, she will be gone.
