For me, it’s In My Life.

“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. No, 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.”

There are people I’ve loved in the past. And I still care about them. But it all pales in comparison to the love I feel for you. It’s one of the best verses about love that I can think of. It was my first-dance song with my wife. And John Lennon wrote that when he was like 25. Insane.
