Ed, John Hardly did say: They are the most astounding writing duo of our (or perhaps any other) time. Prolific and profound. I didn't come up with 'profound' by myself.

But go ahead, enjoy. The fact remains that I was not 14 years old when they burst upon the scene.

In My Life
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

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
Though 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


Yes, nice writing, and good sentiment. But in what way does it surpass any one of stacks and stacks of other pieces of good writing?
