From Me To You - Beatles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

From Me To You (Beatles, The, 1963/1964). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-02-14. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"From Me To You," written by Lennon & McCartney (songmeanings.com, 2022), was the Beatles' first 45 single released in the United States as the "B" side of "Please, Please Me," which was the "A" side of the record (beatlesbible.com, 2021; songfacts.com, 2022). "Please, Please Me" was the first song to be promoted in the US, but it did not originally chart in 1963; however, "From Me To You" was then pushed, and it hit the Billboard Bubbling Under chart at #116. The song was then re-released in 1964 when it rose to the #41 position on the chart (Whitburn, 2013); it did reach the #1 position on the UK charts (songfacts.com, 2022). "This was the first song to feature The Beatles['] falsetto "whoooo," which became a big part of many of their hits . . . Paul McCartney learned the "whoooo" from listening to Little Richard" (songfacts.com, 2022). According to beatlesebooks.com (2022), Lennon and McCartney wrote the song while on a bus from York to Shrewsury, England. They were reading a column in New Musical Express, "From You To Us," which featured a fan letter talking about how Cliff Richard was currently outshining Elvis Presley in the charts. They used the title of the column as the spark that led to "From Me To You."

Da da da, da da dumb dumb da
Da da da, da da dumb dumb da

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything I can do
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love, from me to you

I've got everything that you want
Like a heart that's oh so true
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love, from me to you

I've got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side
I've got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied (woooo)

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything I can do
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love, from me to you

From me
To you
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love, from me to you

I've got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side
I've got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied (wooo)

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything I can do
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love, from me to you
To you
To you
To you
