Dear one near me - truth assessed
Reborn worldwise - mind at rest
True heart sow you - God has blessed
Your soul whispers - love confessed

My spirit sings to you now
Creation stands at your feet
My feelings call to you now
Dear one I love (a) you

You hear my spirit sing to you
You see creation at your feet
You feel my feelings calling you
You know dear one I love (a) you

Dear one show me - simple grace
Move me toward thee - with each pace

My spirit sings to you now
Creation stands at your feet
My feelings call to you now
Dear one I love (a) you

You hear my spirit sing to you
You see creation at your feet
You feel my feelings calling you
You know dear one I love (a) you


Harrison wrote the lyrics in 1976 during a vacation to the Virgin Islands, shortly before starting work on Thirty Three & 1/3. In his autobiography, I, Me, Mine, Harrison says that he believes the song is the only one he ever wrote in open A tuning. The lyrics are directed to Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, who Harrison called "a great influence on my life". Apart from American musician Richard Tee on organ, Harrison played all the instruments on the recording: acoustic guitars, synthesizers and percussion.
