It was the first single taken from their debut studio album Look at Us. In August , their single spent three weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot in the United States [1] where it sold more than 1 million copies and was certified Gold. It also reached number 1 in the United Kingdom and Canada. Sonny Bono , a songwriter and record producer for Phil Spector , wrote the lyrics to and composed the music of the song for himself and his then-wife, Cher , late at night in their basement. When Cher was woken up to sing the lyrics, she hated the song and didn't think it would soon be a hit and immediately went back to bed. Where Dylan was musically simple, however, Bono, without fully rebuilding Spector's Wall of Sound , was more structurally ambitious, following the song's standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus form with an ascending coda that built to a climax, then started building again before the fadeout, all in only a little over three minutes. Set to waltz time, the tune retained a light feel despite the sometimes busy instrumentation, led by a prominent ocarina and the alternating vocals between the two singers. If neither were interesting singers, their plodding, matter-of-fact performances gave the song a common-man appeal.

It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door. So far has been so good, it seems we stand test of time You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine" What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose. I had that awful feeling, that I needed help My life had lost its meaning, but you saved me from myself As long as I've got you and we can be together and forever just you and me, well that's swell. You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids Landing on my feet with you, I'm so happy with is how we live. As long as I've got you and we can be together and forever just you and me, well that's swell.
