We were young, it was fun and we couldn't lose.
Times were right over night.
We were headline news.
Crazy days and wreckless nights.
Limousines and bright spotlights. 
We were brothers through it all.
And your song will play on without you.
And this world won't forget about you.
Every part of you was in your song.
Now we will carry on, Never without you (without you, without you) 
Within you Without you (Within you without you)
Here comes the sun is about you.
Here today not alone, with my memories.
Life is strange how things change, it's reality.
You played a beautiful melody that keeps on haunting me. I can always feel you by my side.
And your song (your song) will play on (play on) without you..(without you)
And this world (this world) won't forget (forget) about you (about you) 
Every part of you was in your song.
Now we will carry on. 
Never without you (without you without you)
within you without you (within you without you)
Here comes the sun is about you.
I know all tings must past, and only love will last.
I'll always love the memory of you and me. take it away already.....
And your song (your song) will play on (play on) without you (without you) 
And this world (this world) won't forget (forget) about you 
(about you) 
Every part of you was in your song 
(your song)
Now we will carry on.
Never without you (never without you)
Within you without you ( within you, without you)
We're never without you (we're never without you) 
Within you without you (within you without you) 
We're never without you (never without you)
We're never without you (never without you)
Within you without you (within you without you)
I think Love is about you
PRETTY SURE THIS IS CORRECT

    A couple of small corrections:
    1) It's "take it away Eric" not "take it away already" .. this is the callout to George's friend Eric Clapton, performing the slide guitar solo (in the style so loved by George)
    2) At the end of the song, it's "'I Dig Love' is about you", not "I think love ..."; referencing the song by that title from George's album All Things Must Pass.
