“I’ve Just Seen a Face”

By: The Beatles

I've just seen a face,

I can't forget the time or place

That we'd just met, she's just the girl for me

And I want all the world to see we've met

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Had it been another day

I might have looked the other way

But I had never been aware

And as it is I dream of her tonight

La, di, di, da di di

Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling me back again

I have never known

The likes of this, I've been alone

And I have missed things and kept out of sight

But other girls were never quite like this

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling me back again

I've just seen a face

I can t forget the time or place

And we'd just met, she's just the girl for me

And I want all the world to see we've met

Mmm, mmm, mmm, la di di

Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling me back again

“I’ve Just Seen a Face” is a song by The Beatles that was recently redone and altered a bit for the film ”Across the Universe.” It is similar to Addison and Steele’s “No. 1 Tuesday, April 12, 1709” in that it deals with the idea of love at first sight. Both are of a man who notices a woman and becomes immediately attracted to her. The song says, “That we’d just met, she’s just the girl for me.” Unlike the song though, the man in the story was only able to get a glimpse the woman he fell in love with (Steele 369).
