The Beatles - "I Will"

Another sweet and simple Beatles love song that I like.

The lyrics are a little non-sensical...how could the protagonist/singer not have learned the beloved's name??...and that makes the relationship sound rather trivial plus suggests they wrote the lyrics partly for the rhyme, rather than primarily for the meaning.

Other than that, the song has very sweet sentiments, even though they broke the Cardinal Songwriting Rule: "Never rhyme 'heart' with 'apart.'" I like the fun horse clippety-cloppety percussion sound that sneaks in beginning around 1:00 in the song and gets stronger and stronger toward the end.
