I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love Living with good and bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone, the devil's best friend Someone who offended all We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who imagined it all All those years ago (All those years ago) (All those years ago) Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of lies And all else that we despised They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago All those years ago All those years ago All those years ago

As letras de "All Those Years Ago" foram adaptadas por George Harrison para funcionar como um tributo pessoal a John Lennon após o assassinato deste em dezembro de 1980.
Ringo Starr tocou bateria e Paul McCartney gravou vocais de apoio sobre a faixa básica da música, reunindo três ex-Beatles na gravação.
Na composição, Harrison faz referências diretas a duas músicas icônicas: "All You Need Is Love", dos Beatles, e "Imagine", de John Lennon.
Harrison havia registrado a música antes de escrever as líricas, compondo a melodia antes de decidir o tema da canção.
A faixa foi lançada como single do álbum Somewhere in England, que George Harrison lançou em 1981.
