"All You Need Is Love"

I listened to Magical Mystery Tour yester-day and then started thinking about the quotation of the title line of "She Loves You" at ~3:23 in "All You Need Is Love."  I lookt into both parts and discovered that they're basically identical, something like this:


(In "All You Need Is Love," Paul leaves out the first "she," so the initial pick-up note is lacking.)

Unless I'm mistaken, both songs are in G major, so the tonality of the lines is the same, and while the tempo of "All You Need Is Love" is slower, the rhythm of "She Loves You" is retained.
