Things We Said Today" is a song by the Beatles and credited to Lennon & McCartney. It was composed for the film A Hard Day's Night and was the B-side of the "A Hard Day's Night" single in the UK.
The song is one of three main compositions (along with "And I Love Her" and "Can't Buy Me Love") that Paul McCartney wrote for the Beatles film. Recorded in advance of film production for lip-synching reasons, "Things We Said Today" has a reverse nostalgia premise. Paul McCartney: "I wrote this on acoustic. It was a slightly nostalgic thing already, a future nostalgia. We'll remember the things we said today, sometime in the future, so the song projects itself into the future".
McCartney was particularly satisfied with his chord change, F major to B flat major—instead of the more obvious F minor—which first occurs beneath "...wishing you weren't so far away" in the song. John Lennon accentuates McCartney's strident acoustic guitar strumming by triple hitting a low A note on a piano. The tempo of the song moves from ballad to rock and back with a minor to major key change during its middle eight section.
McCartney's diction, double tracked, is so accurate that in places it cancels itself out, sounding untracked (conversely, Lennon's vocals were always different, and often sounded quite messy when double tracked). This was still before ADT (automatic double tracking) had been invented at Lennon's behest, by Abbey Road studio's Ken Townsend.
Paul McCartney wrote the song while cruising the Caribbean aboard a yacht called Happy Days. It is based on his relationship with his then-girlfriend, Jane Asher. Because of their busy lives, they could not spend much time together.
The Beatles included "Things We Said Today" as part of their live set during their world tour.
The French singer Dick Rivers recorded the song as "Ces Mots Qu'On Oublie Un Jour".
In 1989/90, Paul McCartney included the song as part of his own world tour.

Lyrics:
You say you will love me
If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
You said you'll be mine, girl
'til the end of time
These days such a kind girl
seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
be the only one
loves me all the time, girl
we'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
believe only one
loves me all the time, girl
we'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
